Eskom will take unit 2 of the Koeberg Nuclear Power Station offline on Monday, 17 January, for a regular refuelling and maintenance outage that is scheduled for five months.

“This will be the 25th refuelling outage on unit 2 since commissioning and will also see the replacement of the unit’s three steam generators. During this outage the reactor pressure vessel head, which houses the nuclear fuel while the station is in operation, will also be replaced, Eskom said in a statement.

The Koeberg units, at 920MW each, are the largest generating units on the African continent, the state company said. “The Koeberg outages are planned at times of the year when the impact on the overall electricity supply is minimised as far as possible.
