poweralert stage 2.....

[Nom Chompsky]

Ah well, was going to get the same slot (6-8pm) regardless of the stage, except stage 0.

Things sure are getting interesting.

Remember to turn your heater and geyser on.

I'm busy turning my bedroom into a sauna.

 

[Brian_G]

Just turned my gas heater off, maybe things are warming a bit. We live in hope

Regarding Koeberg - I think it will be justified to just shut it down and decommission it gracefully.

Because loss of expertise + BEE + the Bree street incident and others just goes to show that this guavamint just is not capable anymore.

Running out of gas?

I live just outside of the blast radius of Koeberg... I agree with this statement i don't need no BEE candidate that got 23% for maths and was pushed through anywhere near Koeberg

No but I will if I don't curb my comfort :-/

This would not be prudent at this stage given that when both units are operating, they provide the equivalent of about 2 stages of LS.

Is the ANC prudent in anything they do?

 

[wingnut771]

Got an electric backup?

 

[Brian_G]

They'll never shut it down anyway

 

[Brian_G]

Got an electric backup?

Yes and no - I was banned from using it years ago

Think again.

As long as the ANC is in charge with their racist work policies, how guaranteed and confident are you that you will find the right qualified candidate for the job?

Nah, better to have it do a graceful shutdown until CapExit is finalized, then get the proper qualified personnel back in.

Otherwise you're just playing around with fire and hoping for a 3 mile Island/Fukushima/Chernobyl. Remember, you can make it foolproof, but you can't make it damnfoolproof.

Besides, look at how infrastructure maintenance (sewerage, railroad, electrical, telephone etc) in this country is treated. That does not inspire a lot of confidence now, does it?

Take one for the team. Stage 6 FTW!

I haven’t been following; what’s the latest with Koeberg?

@The_Librarian has just decided to cancel it, nothing else.

Unit 1 delayed again, unit 2 might not be able to wait for unit 1 to be finished so both might be off so unit 2 can be finished before license expires.

They will probably just extend unit 2s license expiry date.

This.

'Very, very worried.' Ramokgopa sounds alarm on Koeberg refurbishment | News24

The refurbishment of Koeberg seems to be running overtime - again - with the possibility emerging that both units will be out of service at the same time. This would mean higher load shedding stages into 2024.
