Eskom has suspended three senior managers at its Koeberg Power Station in the Western Cape.<\/p>\n
\u201cEskom has placed the Koeberg power station manager and the plant manager on precautionary suspension as a result of the distribution of documentation containing unauthorised facts and assumptions relating to Koeberg\u2019s Production Plan and in particular, the steam generator replacement,\u201d said the utility in a statement.<\/p>\n
The potential prejudice caused to Eskom by the unauthorised actions of the suspended personnel is currently being assessed, said the utility on Wednesday.<\/p>\n
Koeberg is the country\u2019s only nuclear plant.<\/p>\n
Drone crash in Koeberg site<\/strong><\/p>\n In another unrelated incident, a drone crashed on the Koeberg site in contravention of the nuclear safety regulations. The drone was returned to its owner without the investigation having been completed.<\/p>\n \u201cEskom has subsequently suspended the Koeberg safety officer as a precautionary measure to fully investigate the incident. The matter has also been reported to the SAPS as Koeberg is a National Key Point,\u201d said Eskom.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, on Tuesday Eskom marked one year of no load shedding. This, according to the utility, is largely due to the rigorous plant maintenance programme that the utility executed over the past 12 months.<\/p>\n Court snuffs out Eskom worker strike<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n Eskom faces another big problem \u2013 15,000 striking workers<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\nMore on Eskom<\/h3>\n
