How do a nuclear reactor trip , and does it not take couple of weeks to get it running again

A reactor doesn't trip

We’d have to go to stage 7 then if anything else trips or breaks and no other units return to service.

They'll just ask their industrial customers to use even less. Anything to hide the fact that stage 6 has been breached...

Please point to the curtailment on the 13th between 6-7pm on this graph:

Station build-up for the last 7 days - Eskom Data Portal

This shows how resources were used to build-up the demand over the past 7 days, and it includes both generation and demand side resources that Eskom has contracts with.

And as we go into Winter; I don't think they'll save us from Stage 7 and beyond.

Well, they are shedding stage 6 or up to 6000. Where do you think the balance of that 7000 odd comes from?

At least where I am the next Stage that will really raise the inconvenience level would be Stage 9.
Stage 7 and 8 just means more of the 4 hour slots. And we have already been "warmed up" to the 4 hour slots over the last months.
But Stage 9 would probably mean the beginning of 6 hour slots. And then you would probably be on for only 2 hours and then off again for at least 4 hours.
"Load shifting" would then be an even bigger problem as inverters/backups kick in to recharge.

What balance? Show me on the graph.

Maybe they should generate more? The population as almost doubled in the last 30 years.
