The Department of Mineral Resources and Energy says that the lapsed nuclear cooperation agreement between South Africa and the United States poses no immediate crisis for the country.
The Koeberg Nuclear Power Station is currently operating at half capacity after its first unit was pulled offline in December for maintenance. The station is currently the most reliable energy producer in Eskom’s fleet and is having its lifespan extended by 20 years. The DMRE said that Koeberg is currently being supplied with nuclear fuel from Westinghouse Electric Company LLC from the USA to load Unit 1 and Framatome from France to load Unit 2.
