Two nuclear managers are leaving SA for North America, one on a year-long study experience and the other to join a Canadian utility.
Eskom's chief nuclear officer, Riedewaan Bakardien, has resigned to join a Canadian nuclear entity in an executive position.“As the only nuclear power station in Africa, we have all played a role in keeping the plant safe, and the best place to work. The decision to resign was by no means an easy decision,” said Bakardien.
Keith Featherstone, an experienced executive with more than 30 years of nuclear experience and a previous Koeberg power station manager, will act in the position while the recruitment process is under way, said Eskom. The current acting Koeberg power station general manager, Nomawethu Mtwebana, is also heading for North America. She has been selected by the World Association of Nuclear Operators in Atlanta, US, to join as a “reverse loanee” for the next year.
