The lecture focused predominantly on the science of nuclear reactor technology, especially radiation, and also took a brief look at the design apsects of the Fukushima nuclear plant in Japan and South Africa's Koeberg nuclear power plant. According to Professor Slabber's presentation, due to it's design and South Africa's distance from any significant geographic fault lines, Koeberg will not suffer the same fate as Fukushima in the event of a natural disaster.
