Eskom's big Koeberg nuclear power plant problem

Eskom had not completed the containment building needed to store radioactive parts before shutting down Koeberg's Unit 2 for scheduled maintenance.

Energy expert and EE Business Intelligence managing director Chris Yelland told Talk 702 that the project should never have gotten the green light from the National Nuclear Regulator.

Hence the reason for the previous article about the replacement being delayed. I mean 2 and 2 is 4. Unless you're a MyB journo where it equals 44

No he's not, they delayed the replacement because this isn't ready. But they still needed to shut unit 2 down anyway for repairs, maintenance and refuel which happens every 400 or so days.
 
In 2020 right before the pandemic kicked off, the timelines for completing the new containment buildings for storage of the old SG's seemed real tight given there was no physical work done yet at that point. This was pretty much a given...

He is blowing things out of proportion as usual, the SG replacements will be deferred to the next refueling if I'm correct - the licence only expires 2024-25.
 
Just send in the MyBBer supa heroo choice award, he will fix it:

Delay means it was approved. How does that happen when it isn't known to be ready?
