Jellyfish Halt Three Reactors in France
The Grafen Nuclear Power Plant in northern France has shut down three reactors due to cooling pump blockages caused by a swarm of jellyfish, leading to a reduction in the output of the fourth reactor by half and the complete shutdown of one reactor. The Grafen plant, the largest in Western Europe with six reactors, is one of the country's main sources of nuclear energy. It had experienced a similar situation a year earlier. Jellyfish have caused the closures of other nuclear stations around the world, including in Sweden and Japan.
