According to Kurier, jellyfish have nearly completely paralyzed operations at France's largest nuclear power plant. The slimy intruders caused massive disruptions, and this is not the first time such incidents have occurred at this site.

Munich Merkur reports that the swarm of jellyfish has far-reaching consequences for production at the plant. The shutdown could exacerbate the effects on electricity supply in the region.
