Koeberg breakdown no accident

Minerals and Energy Minister Lindiwe Hendricks has told parliament that the bolt found in the generator at the Koeberg nuclear power station did not get there by accident. The minister said that is why an investigation into the incident had been instigated. She said, however, that no announcements would be made until the investigation was completed. Hendricks’s comments on the investigation follow similar statements by Public Enterprises Minister Alec Erwin last month. He told the media at the time that the bolt-incident had been no accident.
