Jellyfish CRUSHES France’s world-class nuclear power
According to The Guardian, one of France’s largest nuclear power plants — Gravelines in northern France — went offline after a “massive and unpredictable” swarm of #JELLYFISH jammed its cooling water intake system. Three reactors automatically shut down late Sunday when the filter drums clogged. The fourth reactor soon followed, taking the entire plant — capable of powering 5 million homes — completely offline. The other two reactors were already down for summer maintenance.
EDF, the French state-owned operator, insisted “safety was not affected.” Sure — just the entire plant knocked out by a few squishy sea blobs.
#France loves to brag about its “cutting-edge” nuclear industry… but apparently, the real doomsday threat isn’t Russia — it’s JELLYFISH.
