After giving an overview of major economic policy developments and their successes or not in South Africa from its transition to democracy in 1994 until recently, this article acknowledges efforts at, but also pleads for stronger engagement of theology with economic issues. The article also highlights some of the difficulties in achieving this and gives guidelines that may assist in forging a closer link between theological reflection and economic policy formation/execution. It is suggested in particular that theologians embark on a more intentional and purposeful development of economic expertise by taking cognizance of the insights of economists. In this way public theology may move beyond mere formulations of visions of an economically just society and criticizing betrayals of that vision to a theology that employs thorough economic analyses to offer concrete suggestions for economic policy and economic practices. Such a public theology would contribute to addressing poverty, unemployment and inequality.

The degradation of steam generator tubing at nuclear power plants has become an important problem for the electric utilities generating nuclear power. The material used for the tubing, Inconel 600, has been found to be succeptible to intergranular attack (IGA). IGA is the selective dissolution of material along its grain boundaries. The author believes that the sensitivity of Inconel 600 to IGA can be minimized by homogenizing the near-surface region using ion implantation. The collisions between the implanted ions and the atoms in the grain boundary region would displace the atoms and thus effectively smear the grain boundary.To determine the validity of this hypothesis, an Inconel 600 sample was implanted with 100kV N2+ ions to a dose of 1x1016 ions/cm2 and electrolytically etched in a 5% Nital solution at 5V for 20 seconds. The etched sample was then examined using a JEOL JSM25S scanning electron microscope.
