Jellyfish force partial shutdown of France's Gravelines nuclear plant
- A massive influx of jellyfish has led to the partial shutdown of a nuclear reactor in northern France.
- Two of Gravelines nuclear power station's six units were shut down on Wednesday and Thursday because of the presence of jellyfish in the seawater filtration system, which is used for cooling, Électricité de France (EDF) said.
- A third unit has been shut down since 10 August due to the same issue, while a fourth has been closed for an inspection.
