Eskom said late on the 27th that Koeberg nuclear power station unit 1 experienced a turbine trip in the early hours and was shut down safely under established procedures. The station is temporarily fully offline. Eskom said the suspension of unit 1’s output will not pose a risk to national power supply and the grid remains stable.
