Jellyfish disrupt French nuclear power plant for second time in a month

A French nuclear power plant experienced a partial shutdown due to jellyfish clogging the facility's cooling filters for the second time in a month. The incident occurred at the Flamanville nuclear power station, which is one of the largest in the country. The influx of jellyfish forced the plant's operators to reduce its output, as the cooling system was compromised. This is the second time in a month that the Flamanville plant has faced such an issue, highlighting the potential impact of marine life on critical infrastructure. The power plant's management stated that the safety of the facility and its personnel was not compromised during the incident. However, the disruption highlights the need for ongoing vigilance and adaptability in the face of environmental factors that can affect the operation of nuclear power plants. The article emphasizes the importance of proactive measures to mitigate the risks posed by natural phenomena, such as jellyfish blooms, to ensure the reliable and safe operation of critical energy infrastructure.
