Eskom tight lipped about problems at Koeberg

Eskom is refusing to confirm the cause of problems with a nuclear reactor at Koeberg. Weekend media reports suggested that a loose bolt had been "bouncing around inside a generator" and might have been responsible for the recent power cuts. However, Eskom says it knows what the problem with the generator is, but will not divulge it at this stage. According to reports, experts from France, where the equipment was made, have flown to South Africa to help find and rectify the problems. Eskom spokesperson Carin de Villiers says a press conference will be held sometime this month to clear up the issue.
