Who is feeling safe living near that plant? I am sure a few folks would say they do.... but are they really safe?

If they can read and understand that despite all of their problems there has never been a safety incident affecting the nuclear reactor (and associated safety equipment) then they'd be happy to live in the plant's shadow. Only bang broeks who react to headlines bearing the name Koeberg would claim otherwise.

You mean the organisation that's been trying to close it down for 42 years? Who constantly point out all the issues with Koeberg and none of them have even remotely given any real issues?

I live pretty close to it. Never worried about it. Not sure why anyone would feel unsafe around it. It's got a very good safety record.
