Heat and jellyfish: a fifth of French nuclear capacity out of operation

TL;DR AI-generated Over 20% of France's nuclear power capacity is unavailable due to heat, drought, and a jellyfish infestation. 13 out of 57 reactors were affected, including the largest nuclear power plant in Western Europe in Gravelines, where jellyfish blocked cooling systems.
