The National Nuclear Regulator (NNR), in partnership with the University of Pretoria (UP), will officially launch South Africa’s first Centre of Excellence for Nuclear Safety and Security (CNSS), on Friday, at the UP Hatfield campus.

This dedicated institution for nuclear safety and security will provide a continuous supply of personnel trained in nuclear safety and security to serve the needs of the nuclear regulatory body and the nuclear industry in general.

The CNSS will also provide continuous professional development programmes in nuclear safety and security, conduct nuclear safety and security research to support regulatory activities and decision-making, and provide technical support services in nuclear safety and security to the regulatory body and the nuclear industry.

“The CNSS is the first applied research and training establishment dedicated to developing essential skills demanded by South Africa’s nuclear sector outside the traditional university sector. It will house training facilities for NNR staff, as well as a selection of irradiation and analysis equipment for researchers and students to use, including analytical and inspection laboratories, computer modelling facilities, meeting and seminar rooms and office accommodation,” says NNR CEO Dr Bismark Tyobeka.
