Jellyfish entered the pumping station of a French nuclear power plant, forcing it to shut down one of its reactors, the energy company EDF said in a statement.
EDF’s Paluel nuclear plant in northern France was affected. EDF shut down the reactor at 9 p.m. local time on Wednesday, September 3, and also lowered the power of another reactor at the nuclear plant as a precaution.
