Turbine damage at Duvha power station

O, I thought you meant the original story is false.

Is someone reusing them for another failure?

They're popping up again all over FB at the moment - FUD style.

Ag no man. I'm not on FB, and missed this recycled story.

1. Feb 2011 Duvha turbine over-rev and shatter happened in real life.

2. March 2014 Duvha Unit 3 shutdown is genuine and still unexplained.

3. National grid shutdown 6 Dec 2014 is obviously a hoax.

Over-pressurisation incident = Big BadaBoom.

Over-pressurisation incident = Big BadaBoom.

A unplanned oxidation event?
A unsheduled exothermic incident?
A rapid structural disassembly at predefined stress points, resulting in a unplanned increase in retro-preventitive maintenance?

Ons het opgefok, meneer?

Ah, it happened a few years ago.

Retro-preventative maintenance... I like it. I'll have to remember that one.
