CAPE TOWN - Eskom says there is no risk of rolling blackouts after a line fault at Koeberg nuclear station was cut by almost 90 percent following a fault on Tuesday afternoon.
The line fault from the Pinotage transmission substation forced the plant's two units to operate at reduced power.
But the power utility said there is no need to be alarmed as this has had no impact on the stability of the national grid.
Eskom said both nuclear reactors were not affected by this incident.
It said the response was necessary to protect the integrity of the power station and the grid.
The National Nuclear Regulator has been informed of the incident.
