Jellyfish Swarm Forces French Nuclear Plant Shutdown

A swarm of jellyfish caused the shutdown of three reactors at France's Gravelines nuclear power plant by clogging its water intake filters, though safety was maintained. Jellyfish swarms frequently disrupt coastal power plants worldwide, prompting scientists to develop early warning tools to predict such events. Similar incidents have occurred in Scotland, Sweden, the US, Japan, and China, highlighting the ongoing environmental challenge posed by jellyfish to energy infrastructure.
