Jellyfish disrupt French nuclear power plant for second time in a month
Published: 9/4/2025

Jellyfish cause disruption at French nuclear plant for the second time in a month. The incident at Paluel, France's second largest nuclear plant, led to a 2.4 gigawatt output reduction. EDF is working on restoring the plant's full operation, following jellyfish clogging the pumping station. This recurrence follows a similar disruption at the Gravelines plant in August due to a swarm of jellyfish.
