A Swedish nuclear plant had to shut down last week due to a large amount of jellyfish in the cooling water intake. It had to be manually shut down because if the cooler shut down automatically because of too-low cooling in the condenser, it would have been disastrous. The generators account for 10% of all of Sweden's electricity, which might seem small, but can have a big impact on a country.
What I want to know, is how the jelly fish got in there in the first place. I know they have to take the water in to cool the system, but didn't they know it had jellyfish in it?
hmm, I am wondering the same thing. How did they get in there? That's kind of weird if you ask me
ReplyDeleteMaybe they are magical teleporting super-powered jellyfish? Nuclear power plants beware: check your cooling tanks for jellyfish mutated by the radioactivity.
ReplyDeleteMaybe there were already some jellyfish in there and they just reproduce. Then there were enough jellyfish so that the people could see them.
