Four units at the Gravelines nuclear power plant (Nord) were shut down on August 11, 2025 due to the "massive and unforeseeable presence of jellyfish" in the pumping stations for the water used to cool the reactors, EDF announced. These automatic shutdowns of units 2, 3, 4, and 5 "had no impact on the safety of the facilities, the safety of personnel, or the environment," EDF assured on its website. The plant is thus temporarily completely shut down, as its two other production units, 1 and 5, are currently undergoing maintenance.
