Koeberg Nuclear Power Station evaluated Koeberg against a 0.5g ZPGA. Overall Koeberg found to be seismically robust and well designed, with some areas for attention and improvement that were highlighted. Duynefontein next door on the northern side of Koeberg is a proposed site for a new nuclear power station. South Africa's nuclear industry has seen its fair share of opposition, chiefly from environmentalists concerned about safety issues such as radioactive waste, and anti-war activists concerned about nuclear proliferation and use of atomic weapons. Current campaigns against nuclear energy are being run by Earthlife Africa and Koeberg Alert. Koeberg Nuclear Power Station Koeberg nuclear power
