That's going to be an interesting time.
Refuelling of a unit (900 MW) at Koeberg is significant to the Western Cape as it will affect the stability of supply in that part of the country if something else also goes south.Originally Posted by The_Librarian
AFAIK they never refuel both units at the same time. Eskom are currently experiencing problems with about 4000MW of their conventional (read coal) plant. That is more than 4 Koeberg equivalent units or about 7 large coal units (600-700MW/unit). So if everything else was OK, one unit at Koeberg is not a serious issue (The Koeberg process has been in place for decades and never before such a serious issue). But everything is not!

One of the units is being refuelled right now; I guess it's the other one that will be refuelled in 2009?
AFAIK, they are doing manitenance on one reactor and a refuel on the other. ie. Koeberg is down.
Both down?
What happens during the refueling stage if I may ask.

Interesting:
The pebble bed reactor (PBR) is a design, revived by the South African utility, ESKOM, near the turn of the century. In the United States, the design and progress toward licensing appears to have slowed. Interest by Exelon, an early proponent, has waned.
Did we actually revive something good?
