Fun little program.

I detonated a Tsar Bomba 2 km above Luthuli House.



The sacrifice of those ~7.3 million will never be forgotten.

Soon the mybroederbond members will jump out of the woodwork wanting to bomb townships.

A nuclear plant is just extremely expensive.

What type of reactor are they going for?

PWR or BWR are extremely expensive. Complicated and are always way over budget and programme.

Suppose they will go for a Russian one, as they are "cheaper".

Letting nuclear happen amongst the comrades?
/runs far far away.

Maybe first fix what you imbeciles stuffed up before dreaming of Chernobyl?

Chernobyl is as far removed from modern Nuclear plants as a Model T-Ford is from the space Shuttle.

And this lot couldn't even build Medupi and Kusile properly.

Like I trust you @rseholes with nuclear when you can't build a power station to spec without fvcking it up.
You don't want a African Government having anything to do with building a nuclear power station.

Coal powered plants are also not the solution and there are two new big ones. What happens when coal mines start to run dry and mining/coal costs become more and more expensive? Cost will just be passed onto user.

Have to move onto something else asap.

A nuclear power station would have to be built by foreign labour, and that would make it prohibitively expensive.

The problem is not so much nuclear. The problem is corrupt and incompetent goverment + nuclear.

3,6 rontgen, not great ,but not terrible.

The problem is not so much nuclear. The problem is corrupt and incompetent goverment + nuclear.

Problem checklist:

1. Corrupt government: Check.
2. Incompetent government: Check (5x).
3. Nuclear: Check.

SA and nuclear just does not compute, all other SOE have been run poorly and into the ground. They want to play with nuclear where there is no room for error?

What do you mean? We have Koeberg, don't we?
