Koeberg unit one taken offline after protection system activates

# Eskom says Koeberg Nuclear Power Station’s Unit One was safely taken offline yesterday after a protection system activated during testing linked to planned maintenance on Unit Two. Engineering teams are investigating the cause and assessing whether corrective action is needed. Eskom says there are no nuclear safety concerns, with all safety systems operating normally and the station remaining stable. The utility says sufficient generation capacity is available to meet electricity demand despite the temporary loss of Unit One.
