Jellyfish force shutdown of nuclear reactor

metanautics:

A huge cluster of jellyfish forced the Oskarshamn plant in Sweden, the site of one of the world’s largest nuclear reactors, to shut down by clogging the pipes conducting cool water to the turbines.

Operators of the plant on the Baltic coast in south-east Sweden had to scramble reactor No 3 on Sunday after tons of jellyfish were caught in the pipes.
