Understanding Eskom’s nuclear ambitions – an interview with David Nicholls

In an exclusive interview, Chris Yelland, investigative editor at EE Publishers, posed ten questions to David Nicholls, Eskom’s chief nuclear officer, to explore issues surrounding Eskom’s proposed new nuclear procurement programme for South Africa, and to try and understand Eskom’s thinking. These are his responses, published below in slightly edited form for compactness.
 
Curiously enough, the Renewable Energy Independent Power Providers (REIPP) [mainly wind and sun sources] were not even mentioned, probably because they are not considered to be "Base Load".
