When I saw the article this morning I had to go and check who wrote it because the style was extremely odd.

E.g., who writes "This is how you replace SGs and remove the old ones to a place of final disposal." instead of using a heading or something like "SGs are replaced by..."
Hmm, his eyebrows beg questions.

Context is everything. When you are an expert you understand the context of the above writing in the Shutdown Times. Imagine the SA government spoke as sternly to themselves at every corner. This was an event that is irrelevant to the public. Someone on site that is not an expert thought it prudent to leak an in house communique to the press where context does not exist.
I hear you, but as a taxpayer and member of the public - I would like to know whats going on.
41% of my earnings go to tax directly, possibly another 20% in indirect taxes.

If more than one news agency is raising the red flags, there must be something amiss? The internal note from Times was not the only source red flagging Koeberg, many news papers were running similar articles that something is not right.

Maybe we will never know, maybe its is just click bait, I dont know, but I would like to.

That hasn't affected anyone yet, definitely not really in the real world.

Your argument is invalid.
The people who died, got sick, or who have elevated levels of toxicity around the world, from reactor accidents would beg to differ.

What scares me is that BEE has probably been implemented in a Nuclear Power station. Hence the "mistakes and things not done" etc. Competent people that know the procedures were offered a carrot....and shown the door. So they left.

And than you end up with this.

ANC ****ing with Nuclear now.

I reckon Koeberg is gonna be ANC and BEE breaking point. That straw that broke the camel's back. And another Chernobyl.
