Jellyfish Clog French Nuclear Plant | Europe News

Jellyfish just shut down three reactors at France’s Gravelines nuclear plant—yes, jellyfish. A massive swarm clogged cooling pumps, forcing an emergency shutdown despite preventative measures. It’s not the first time marine life has disrupted power: Sweden and Japan faced similar issues years ago, now made worse by warming seas, pollution, and overfishing. EDF assures no safety risks, noting one reactor was already offline and another running at half capacity. This follows a tough year for French nuclear power, hit by heatwaves and droughts that forced earlier shutdowns. Gravelines, Western Europe’s largest nuclear site with six reactors, proves even advanced tech can’t always outsmart nature’s surprises.
