Jellyfish halt three French reactors
A swarm of jellyfish caused the closure of three nuclear reactors at the Grafland nuclear power plant in northern France, due to blockage of the seawater pumps used for cooling, with the output of the fourth reactor reduced to half. The electricity company Électricité de France (EDF) confirmed that the situation does not pose a safety or environmental threat, despite its impact on energy production. The proliferation of jellyfish is attributed to environmental conditions such as pollution and rising sea temperatures caused by climate change. It has been observed that this phenomenon has occurred before and is linked to the effects of increased ocean temperatures and pollution.
