So they managed to break the most reliable generator in the fleet Koeberg aswell and one of the brand new still under warranty ones at Medupi.

Hope it is on the generating side, and not the nuclear side.

Fault on nuclear side = possible meltdown a la fukushima, major issues, not easy to fix.
Fault on generating side = tripped switch, sabotaged turbine/generator etc, can be fixed if the damage is not too severe.

Nasty. It happened before.
If so, did they install any equipment to prevent this from happening again, or was it deemed too costly, impossible or not feasible?

No idea, I'm guessing, only jelly fish or mist can take down Koeberg.

All the OCGTs add up to almost 3GW to make up for koeberg they would need to run 6 only. If you've not noticed in the last 6 months they've not run more then 6 of theirs.

So jellyfish, mist and bolts must be added to a "Highly Verboten" list....
