Another example, a family of two parents and 3 children in a two roomed shack has their permanently on 2000W hotplate, they are sitting there keeping warm around it. The place is too small, not everyone can have their own individual hotplate, so they make do with the 2000W.

In a larney suburb somewhere, same sized family, the teenage daughter has locked herself in their bedroom and don't want to be bothered, with a 2000W heater to keep warm.

Also keep in mind that the shack is not designed to keep heat inside, therefore the hot plat will run permanently @ 2000W, where the 2000W heater in the larney suburb would cycle on and off, keeping the room at the same temperature.

Your shack would use 2kW for 8hours and the house would start of at 2kW and then reduce to maybe 1kW per hour for the rest of the night. Might even switch it off after a while.
 
Why are we at Stage 6 still? The numbers are looking fine, and they can just burn diesel for the peak...

Demand shift, you'd think after a few stage 6 they'd realise that as soon as it goes over stage 4 demand somehow goes up, but their tiny brains blame consumers

They probably didn't get through primary school, poor guys cut them some slack /s
 
So that Hangriest Boer is still harping on about Koeberg, especially if it implodes? Not sure if it's cause he's Afrikaans or not, but it wouldn't implode, it would suffer a meltdown, plus even if it did suffer a meltdown it wouldn't explode like a nuclear bomb.
Also quite a few comparisons to Chernobyl, it's like you do know that was 37 years ago right? In the Soviet era which means safety wasn't always of the concern.

Nuclear is dangerous in the hands of the ANC.

Hence I want Koeberg to be given a clean shutdown before Fukushima or 3 mile island happens.

If a clean shutdown can be done before an ANC cadre can mess it up, the better.

Because it can be refurbished and restarted once the ANC+oinking cadres have been shown the door and we can get in properly trained and certified personnel.

As things are I do NOT trust Eskom or the ANC to use the proper personnel, because cadre deployment and politics.

We already have a bankrupt state, now imagine if the fallout of a nuclear meltdown is added to this plate?

Dare we risk that will happen though?

Senior ANC members should be required to have their primary residence within the primary evacuation zones around Koeberg. They need to spend more than 6months of the year at that residence.
