EDF said in a statement: “This situation has no impact on the safety of the facilities, the safety of our personnel, or the environment.”Fishing vessels are now taking part in “preventive fishing operations”, including catching the jellyfish with trawlers and releasing them offshore. The facility suffered an almost identical disruption last year, as experts warn that rising sea temperatures are creating favourable conditions for jellyfish making swarms along the coast increasingly common.In fullHuge swarm of jellyfish shut down nuclear reactors at power plant after clogging pumpsMore bulletinsThank you for registeringPlease refresh the page or navigate to another page on the site to be automatically logged inPlease refresh your browser to be logged in
