Dead sardines force Eskom to halve generation at Koeberg

• Eskom has indeed halved generation at Koeberg due to a buildup of dead sardines, likely caused by a virus outbreak off South Africa's coast.
• The dead sardines are believed to be caused by an infection with pilchard herpesvirus, according to preliminary results from the environment department.
• Eskom plans to clear the water intake area to allow normal power generation to continue, and the other unit is currently offline for maintenance.
