Eskom plans to restart Koeberg from tonight

[Jan]

Good news for load-shedding — Koeberg to come back online

Eskom plans to start synchronising one of the Koeberg nuclear power station's generating units to the grid on Friday evening, more than six times after it first went offline.

The utility has suffered numerous delays in bringing back the unit after initially taking it down for major maintenance and refuelling in mid-January 2022.

Look at all that sexy energy it'll be releasing.

Eskom and a nuclear reactor?
3.6 Roentgen, not great, not terrible?

Hopefully even less load shedding for Cape Town now

I'm so glad I'm on the other side of the country!

This photo is more applicable to electric vehicles because you will have to wait 30 - 40minutes before you can drive compared to fill up and go.

Hopefully you trolls in that dipshit town can finally stop sucking electricity away from the rest of the country you mean.

I'm guessing it was meant to say six months...

"More than six times since it first went offline" assuming it should be "more than six months since it first went offline"

Ah thanks.

I thought with all the incompetence, they literally tried to restart it six times but failed all along the way

Damn, I had plans for the weekend...

Plans? Like an evacuation?

No spelling mistake though.

Hate to break it to you, but Eskom's coal power stations release far more radioactive material into the country than Koeberg does.

Hate to break it to you, if Koeberg goes Chernobyl, the WC is not habitable for a 1000 years.

I'll take my chances with a lifetime of teeny tiny incremental doses.
