The Vaalputs PSIF is still active and attended by members of community, NRWDI and Necsa personnel on a quarterly basis. These meetings serve as information sessions where attendees receive information regarding nuclear, with a strong focus on the safety aspects. This valuable information is shared with the communities during their meetings.
