Jellyfish disrupt French nuclear power plant for second time in a month
The nuclear power plant in Penly, northern France, has been impacted by jellyfish for the second time in a month, raising concerns about the ocean's impact on nuclear infrastructure.
The power plant's safety systems shut down automatically during both incidents, causing momentary interruptions to electricity generation. The first incident occurred on August 10 and the second incident was reported on September 4.
Scientists and energy officials are concerned about the potential impact of climate change on jellyfish populations, which could lead to more frequent and severe disruptions.
