Guest: Prof Hartmut Winkler | Energy Analyst and Physicist at University of Johannesburg

Wasanga is joined by Hartmut Winkler Professor of Physics at the University of Johannesburg to talk about how South Africa’s nuclear sector has failed its Koeberg nuclear plant life extension test.


Professor Hartmut says that Koeberg is supplying only half of its power while work is in progress. This has amplified the crippling power shortages that we've been experiencing. 



The current situation, where the country effectively has 3% less generating power available than it would otherwise have, is expected to persist for the bulk of the next two years.
