1 Megawatt is 1 million watts. If a lightbulb is 100 watts, then 1MW can power 10,000 lightbulbs. At an average of 20 lightbulbs per home, that's 500 homes powered by 1MW (excluding other power usages). Eskom has a capacity of 50,000MW but is failing to even deliver 35,000MW.
Im currently studying Electrical Engineering and I'm glad to have learnt so much more about Nuclear, this will help a lot with my future, thanks Pen and Usisi Princess :)
Thanks a lot to Princess Mthombeni for sharing this information with us 🙌🙏 and Thanks to Penuel 🖋️💯 🇿🇦 I respect you and and you help us with a very important information each and every day.
How I hurt when I hear about nuclear, knowing how there was such propaganda against it during the Zuma time. Only because Zuma was the one backing it up at the time. Thanks Pen for the video.
I recall the brinkmanship during the cold war. The Soviet built nuclears in Cuba.They later had to dismantle these cuclears and move them elsewhere.Therefore, I should believe in SA the station and carriers were dismantledand stored somewhere.Its just a matter of assembli again in common course
Thanks Pen for bringing this amazing lady on that chair. She's definitely informed and we thank her for her openness and knowledge she has about the energy industry.
It's so nice to hear this information coming out from our naturally beautiful and very articulate women. Let's continue to celebrate her as a leader in the nuclear industry. Onwards and upwards Princy we love you!
The impact and difference you're bringing to our lives (as South Africans) can not be put to words! Much needed talk to expose our greedy/dirty politicians that DO NOT 🚫 have our best interest at heart but the interest of their pockets! Like you say it's a political game
Part way through the conversation(great pod as usual for the Black Pen), I think once the ANC's story has ran it's course. It's mismanagement of the talent in SA will be more damning than any overt criminal act. There's so much potential in SA, that is just wasted. There are Nikola Tesla's, Claude Shannon's and Richard Feynman's that will never see the inside of a university or if they do, take their talent's abroad. The mismanagement of the human capital, hai it's baffling
Yohh she's so cool🤩 so originally African. Not trying to sound smart n intelligent with an english accent. No twang or slay queen vibes, zero western influence that's got most women.... its her type that are the real slay queens cuz check how knowledgeable she is, so humble so calm. African mama educated n killing it in her field. Gotta love it✊🏾🔥⭐🎈💐
Hi Pen, great show for engineers today and for viewers to learn, to add I work in Pulp and Paper industry in the Boilers section, we use ( Black Liquour- byproduct when cooking pulp to make paper), we use that as fuel to fire up our boilers to create heat. It's called Recovery Boilers. So there's lots of alternatives fuels that most people are not aware of.
Thanks so much for sharing this. Personally I'm into engineering space working as a Sales Engineer. I've seen it in companies like Sappi where their primary business is Pulp and Paper but with the high amount of steam generated, they also use it to generate Electricity.
Hey @GodPenuel, great work Baba...well done to your amazing guest Princess Mthombeni...please invite Adil Nchabeleng to continue with this very important subject!!!
These podcasts are upsetting. As a whole, I hope we get upset together. Thank you for this sit-down, very intriguing. Hoping something positive comes out of BRICS+
Penuel, you are exactly correct the last Nationalist government as a priority DID not want the 1st majority government to have nuclear. Ask Pik Botha. Joe berg was an exception.
Mr Penuel i thank you for such insightful and informative show, please keep it up even though i personally don't know very much about nuclear power but i've learned a lot from just watching this podcast. 🙌🙌
interesting how such important conversations are difficult to follow but sooo vital, unlike twerking to amapiano, you doing a good job Mlotshwa, you might not be going on a road to a million, nowhere, slowly but this is the lane many SAns need to be in, with you, I learned so much when I thought I know so much. Keep at it, we NN's are super proud. So sad, this should be on 2 million views, especially by young SAns voting next year.
I have a hard time believing she's not funded or some sort of lobbyist by how effectively she threads the needle of maligning renewables and avoiding mentioning why exactly nuclear has the stink it has on it globally and why anti-nuclear lobbies exist. I'm in favor by the way of nuclear and think it gets a bad rap, but let's please be honest in how we contextualize these things and let them stand on their own merit without the subterfuge
Awesome work, Penuel! This is a discussion that African leaders and people need to have. We (Africa) need as much energy as possible for our development, and the consequences of delays will be unforgivable when the inevitable arrives. There are so many misunderstandings, deliberate or otherwise, about energy and climate change. We need to be correctly informed about the available technologies and their impacts to enable us to make the right decisions. I encourage young African and leaders to read a couple of very interesting and informative books I recently read. Apocalypse Never - Why Environmental Alarmism Hurts Us All - by Michael Shellenberger 2 books by Bjorn Lomborg 1. False Alarm - How Climate Change Panic Cost Us Trillions, Hurts The Poor, And Fails to Fix The Planet. 2. Best Things First - The 12 mist efficient solutions for the world's poorest and our global SDG promises.
Princess, like your enthusiasm and plan, but all these dreams fall flat when it comes to who has is to pay for it. Unfortunately the people of Soweto and Inanda won’t be able
Penuel, I think you should facilitate a conversation with "experts" of differing perspectives on how SA should address it's energy insecurity. I for one think that this idea that an attack on coal is an attack on development is flawed. The fact is, we ought to pursue technologies that result in the lowest cost method of development. This includes the cost of energy but also the cost to society of pursuing any particular energy source. For example, the cost of coal to the country is enormous. While it may be touted as "cheap", it's not actually because it causes large health risks that end up burdening our healthcare system with unnecessary excesses in respiratory illnesses suffered by the poor. If you don't believe me, just check Mpumalanga's air.
Well done Penuel Mlotshwa . I have a question for ubabes wenuclear. I have seen a few videos that say Rosatom has a competitive advantage in the provision of civilian nuclear power. Please ask for a comment on that.
Where are my electrical engineers, nuclear physicists to explain this power generation processes. For round 2 Pen get a technical person to give us the real juice
11:22 i may be wrong but doesnt nuclear plants produce radio active waste, that the byproduct, of it and you have to have careful procedures of containing it
Energy storage technologies such as batteries and supercapacitors are built or developed using materials/minerals mined here, iron oxide in Northern Cape by Kumba Iron ore Mining company, Vanadium oxide in Mpumalanga by Vanchem, Lithium in Zimbabwe, Cobalt oxide in DRC, graphene material using any carbon materials such as plants, coal, petroleum resources. To be able to build these technologies, you require a knowledge of the study of Chemistry and science. They are many other oxide metals and transition metals found here and anywhere in the world we can use to build our own batteries in order to be full participants in this wave. Problem is that we are too obsessed with mediocre politics than real ones. Remember President Xi Jinping is a chemical engineer by profession and Chinese Communist party is led by people with merits rather than dull people. They invest in innovation which is the basis of industrial development and the engine of modern economy.
I mostly do vlogs here, but also do conversations at times. Very soon, there will be a clear distinction between the 2 channels... for now I'm still experimenting.
The apartheid govt was helped by Israelis and the US govts to build nuclear bombs,they also instructed, the then govt to dismantled it,' for fear those weapons would fall in the blacks' we never 'volunteered as such
This makes me hate Cyril even more. Because it goes to show that hes pushing someone elses agenda and his business interests instead of putting the needs of this country and its people first
Can you imagined if we had started with nuclear development then ,our country will be far industrialized by now,stupid politics and the owners of our country
1 Megawatt is 1 million watts.
If a lightbulb is 100 watts, then 1MW can power 10,000 lightbulbs.
At an average of 20 lightbulbs per home, that's 500 homes powered by 1MW (excluding other power usages).
Eskom has a capacity of 50,000MW but is failing to even deliver 35,000MW.
This is why we selling portable solar generators.
Thanks Pen
You are a genius Penuel, thank you very much for sitting down with the Princess of Nuclear and share this revolutionary information. Thanks
Beauty with the brains,African woman at her best,black excellence at its highest best
Much appreciated.
Im currently studying Electrical Engineering and I'm glad to have learnt so much more about Nuclear, this will help a lot with my future, thanks Pen and Usisi Princess :)
Wow Im so proud of our own,she is like a walking nuclear manual. Each one teach one
Thanks a lot to Princess Mthombeni for sharing this information with us 🙌🙏 and Thanks to Penuel 🖋️💯 🇿🇦 I respect you and and you help us with a very important information each and every day.

Please Pen invite Tshepo Kgadima,one of brightest when it comes to all sectors of energy,and the likes of Adel Nchabeleng
Thanks Pen for bringing this amazing lady on that chair. She's definitely informed and we thank her for her openness and knowledge she has about the energy industry.
✨✨✨✨✨✨👏👏👏👏 Siyabonga ngaze ngayithokozela lengxoxo, ngifunde lukhulu.
I have been educated so much! Thanks Pen love your conversations
Great conversation. From this conversation one can see that our politicians are being mislead into a wrong direction and it's sad.
We need this interview again but with someone who actually knows chemistry
This is a very informative episode, thank you.
It's so nice to hear this information coming out from our naturally beautiful and very articulate women. Let's continue to celebrate her as a leader in the nuclear industry. Onwards and upwards Princy we love you!
Thank you 🙏
What does being "beautiful" have anything to do with anything"
I'm happy for this.
You should Interview Dr Pali Lehohla as well.
The impact and difference you're bringing to our lives (as South Africans) can not be put to words! Much needed talk to expose our greedy/dirty politicians that DO NOT 🚫 have our best interest at heart but the interest of their pockets! Like you say it's a political game
This lady is full of information
Part way through the conversation(great pod as usual for the Black Pen), I think once the ANC's story has ran it's course. It's mismanagement of the talent in SA will be more damning than any overt criminal act. There's so much potential in SA, that is just wasted.

Sizwe it's crazy. You'd never think we have such talented individuals, but yeah they are outchea making breakthroughs in other countries 🙌
Very sad story indeed.
Please bring Koko on this platform for the political angle
Yohh she's so cool🤩 so originally African. Not trying to sound smart n intelligent with an english accent. No twang or slay queen vibes, zero western influence that's got most women.... its her type that are the real slay queens cuz check how knowledgeable she is, so humble so calm.

Joe berg was an exception
Thank you guy's for giving us this information 🙏
i remember when they tried crucifying Msholozi for nuclear....
Thanx Pen this was again a very interesting and educational interview
Thank you 🙏🏾
Got you!! Bel ti Bonjour everyone. I'm happy to catch this live. I absolutely love this podcast. Remain resolute. Keep the vibe +
I am really interested in the Nuclear industry, I am in love with this industry now.
In most cases I struggle with the guest voices. You need to increase all possible volumes
Very informative interview
Mr Penuel i thank you for such insightful and informative show, please keep it up even though i personally don't know very much about nuclear power but i've learned a lot from just watching this podcast. 🙌🙌
this thing of sending uranium overseas makes me sick
Love the topic. I hope young people could get more information, so that we could have informed engagement, rather than trolling...
Patrice Motsepe,one of his companies is involved in IPPs
This conversation needs shorts it's interesting nd important🌍
interesting how such important conversations are difficult to follow but sooo vital, unlike twerking to amapiano, you doing a good job Mlotshwa, you might not be going on a road to a million, nowhere, slowly but this is the lane many SAns need to be in, with you, I learned so much when I thought I know so much.

We need balanced voices like that of Princess about other sources of energy. The only voice that we are boambaded with is of renewable energy.
This is so insightful. Thanks for educating us❤ Pen and our beauty and brains Lady guest
Ngiyabonga Nondumiso.♥
Well done Princy! You represented Nuclear Professionals so well. 👌
I have a hard time believing she's not funded or some sort of lobbyist by how effectively she threads the needle of maligning renewables and avoiding mentioning why exactly nuclear has the stink it has on it globally and why anti-nuclear lobbies exist.

Beautiful lady.. Electricity Minister is a joke.. president make sure has people continue to eat
Amazing topic. Thanks for this

That Andre guy,was staunchest supporter of renewable energy
I supposethey were also misinformed about Brian Molefe.Just look where we ended up
Yes I think the pen took a liking in St Petersburg
Princess, like your enthusiasm and plan, but all these dreams fall flat when it comes to who has is to pay for it. Unfortunately the people of Soweto and Inanda won’t be able

This is good so Koko has always been correct
This so educational!
But the West take us for 🤡, powerful conversation SA has amazing skilled people that the system will never give a chance.
I thoroughly enjoyed this one bro. Thank you, thank you...🙏
Bathong Pen where is the thanks button?
😊😍🔥
Nice one Pen, very informative Sisi. I will really consider doing business in nuclear space.
Interesting Pen!
Plan 2063 😭 like where will i be i need change today i am poor today 😭
Well done Penuel Mlotshwa . I have a question for ubabes wenuclear. I have seen a few videos that say Rosatom has a competitive advantage in the provision of civilian nuclear power. Please ask for a comment on that.
Pen we need to look at the industrial revolutions aswell and discuss the next so called 3rd industrial revolution.
Thanks guys, this was Educational
Yho kwaze kwanzima
What an episode! 🎉❤
Then you ask yourself if South Africa needs multibillion deals like that of Turkey's Karpowership.
Great show can you please invite Adil Nchabeleng he is an energy expert
Wow impressive sista!
Where are my electrical engineers, nuclear physicists to explain this power generation processes. For round 2 Pen get a technical person to give us the real juice
i love these @Afrika design official
"Headboy of African leaders "😂😂😂
We also have two reactors in Koeberg
Thank God they didn't hand nuclear weapons to the ANC, can you imagine Zuma (butternut head) with that kind of power?
❤
And why did they offer her a job 🤔
The Lady's brains are awake she stays away from anything controversial careless small talks.
No emission but very lethal
It reminds of wakhanda😅
I think there is a mistake there, NERSA is the National Energy Regulator of South Africa. Not Nuclear Energy Regulator.
It was not volunteerism to stop the manhattan project, it was taking power from black people who were more aligned to the east..
Nuclear science available especially in the NWU, what does that tell you?
She's really good at answering the necessary questions but I think she's holding back some disadvantages of using the nuclear energy
Pen you had to shaved your beard and head I'm impressed, the power of a woman,but you look smooth
😂😂😂
Prof Lumumba spoke about this goal '2063' another is to have a continent of no guns
😂😂😂
Sounds honorable but it's a bad idea
11:22 i may be wrong but doesnt nuclear plants produce radio active waste, that the byproduct, of it and you have to have careful procedures of containing it
What ultimately happens to the water remains containing the uranium radioactive waste
Nuclear was discovered by a woman scientist... and was weaponized by u Oppenheimer, I am definitely watching this!
55mins later... we enter the next talking point I was waiting to ask about... "Nuclear Waste" 👌
🔥🔥🔥🔥😑
The best,safe cheapest?

Penuel, what's the difference between Penuel the Black Pen and The Penuel Show?
I mostly do vlogs here, but also do conversations at times.
Very soon, there will be a clear distinction between the 2 channels... for now I'm still experimenting.
Actually I hear Oppenheimer was the guy who designed the first nuclear bomb
Penuel something is wrong her e 🤦
The apartheid govt was helped by Israelis and the US govts to build nuclear bombs,they also instructed, the then govt to dismantled it,' for fear those weapons would fall in the blacks' we never 'volunteered as such
Definitely true, the world wants Africa to remain weak.
This makes me hate Cyril even more. Because it goes to show that hes pushing someone elses agenda and his business interests instead of putting the needs of this country and its people first
Why can't Koeberg supply us with electricity? if it's full-time operational
Apparently it supplies 50% of the Western Cape. And is probably limited in how much it can deliver.
Thanks for that info
Can you imagined if we had started with nuclear development then ,our country will be far industrialized by now,stupid politics and the owners of our country
How can I get into studying nuclear
awyaz iAgender 2063 bruh
algeria has two isn't it?
2063 is far, we need Elon Musk type of schedules not 2063...We will be in comfort
