“Unit 4 was on a short-term outage (since August 6) when the incident occurred, and all work on the unit was suspended with immediate effect. This included the suspension of all permits to work on the plant until further notice.”

Eskom said the area was secured and once it was cleared by the fire chief and resident engineers; inspections and assessments would begin to determine the cause of the incident and the extent of the damage caused.
