Answer by Mr Mothusi It will be covered as I go through the presentation Abbreviations HVCR High Voltage Control Room – EC Emergency Controller – Question by Mr Nick Lee Why was Eskom given a year to repair a printer? Comment by the Chairperson: Can I ask the members to hold all questions until the end of the presentation to give Mr Ramerafe chance to complete his presentation? Response by Mr Ramerafi The exercise happened on 30 November 2010 and the printer was fixed on the 1st of December 2010. Response by Mr. Lee The due date is September 2011 Response by Mr. Saaymans: In terms of the seriousness of each finding, a due date is assigned to that finding or corrective action. That specific printer didn’t work and it was fixed the next day. Because the NNR are aware that there are other means of printing the document if need be, it wasn’t given a high significance in terms of seriousness and therefore that determined how much time was assigned. There is colour coding that is associated with the dates, its not that a year was given to fix the printer because in reality we know it takes a shorter time. All the other due dates given were based on the seriousness as deemed by the NNR. Question by Mr Mentor What does JMC stand for? Answer by Mr. Ramerafe: JMC stands for the Joint Media Centre. This is where members of the press gathers and receives detail information and updates (jointly from Eskom , City of Cape Town and Provincial Disaster management spokespersons) on the status of the Koeberg nuclear emergency when there is such an emergency or during NNR ( National Nuclear Regulator) Koeberg emergency exercise. Question by Mr. Mayhew The end of September is tomorrow and an awful lot to do. I see what you’re saying, but tomorrow is the due date. What is the NNR’s position on that list? Where do you stand? Answer by Mr. Ramerafe
