[South African Nuclear Power Plant Shuts Down Due to Turbine Trip] On August 29, South Africa's National Power Company issued a statement on the evening of the 27th, saying that Unit 1 of the country's Kubech Nuclear Power Plant was shut down safely in accordance with established procedures in the early morning of that day after a steam turbine tripped. This means that the nuclear power plant is temporarily out of service. The statement said that the suspension of power supply to the power grid from Unit 1 of the Kubech Nuclear Power Plant will not pose a risk to South Africa's national power supply, and the operation of the power grid remains safe and stable. The incident did not affect nuclear safety and did not pose risks to employees, the public or the environment. The cause of the turbine trip is under investigation. The Kubehe Nuclear Power Plant is located on the west coast of South Africa, about 27 kilometers from Cape Town. It is the only operating nuclear power plant in Africa. The nuclear power plant was completed and put into operation in the 1980s. The total installed capacity of the two units is approximately 1,800 megawatts. (CCTV News)
