Eskom warns of load-shedding risk as Koeberg Unit 2 is shut again

Electricity utility Eskom reported on Friday that Unit 2 of the Koeberg Nuclear Power Station, which was returned to service earlier this month following an extended outage, was shut down after one of the control rods developed a mechanical problem. The utility indicated that repairs could take up to five days and that the probability of load-shedding had, thus, increased.
