It is required that such meetings are held on a quarterly basis with the members of the community that live within a radius of 5km from the nuclear reactor, but Necsa extends invitations to neighbouring residents, such as Atteridgeville that is 15 km away.<\/p>

The Chairperson and Deputy Chairperson are independently appointed by the NNR, with Necsa as license holder providing the secretariat for the meeting.\u00a0The main objective of this forum is to facilitate interaction with community members and keep stakeholders informed on safety matters. These meetings are scheduled every quarter,\u00a0on Saturday mornings at the Necsa Visitor Centre, in terms of the above regulation.<\/p>

Meetings are advertised in two local newspapers, Tshwane Sun and Kormorant as well as on social media.\u00a0Positive growth in the numbers of attendees continued in the past years.<\/p>

In future, Necsa will consider utilising the PSIF as a communication tool within the Group\u2019s broader outreach communication mix and develop a practical communication and stakeholder engagement action plan for taking the PSIF to the next level. This will include a structure plan to utilise social media, video clips and online communications to drive interest and improve the effectiveness of the PSIF. The media will also be invited to attend and write articles about the PSIF.<\/p>

The appointment of Public Safety Information Forum (PSIF) Chairperson, Mr Thabiso Malatsi and Deputy Chairperson, Mr Theuns Phahlamohlala were announced by the National Nuclear Regulator (NNR) at the 29 March 2025 PSIF meeting, following the nomination process where two nominations were received and reviewed by the NNR Board.<\/p>
