According to Украинская правда, the operation of three reactors at the Gravelines nuclear power plant in France has been suspended. The reason for this is jellyfish, which are disrupting the cooling water supply, leading to a reduction in the plant's output.

The Insider reported that currently only a quarter of the plant's total capacity is available. This situation could impact the energy supply in the region, as Gravelines is one of the largest power plants in France.
