Atomkraft? Nein Danke!

#Quallen als AKW-Albtraum und Nutznießer menschengemachter Katastrophen.

Sie legen #AKW-#Reaktoren lahm und sind ein Erfolgsmodell der #Evolution. Der #Klimawandel lässt ihre Anzahl steigen, was sie teils in tödliche Bedrängnis bringt.

#Jellyfish Keep Attacking #NuclearPowerPlants

"Jellyfish are continuing to clog the cooling intake pipes of a nuclear power plant in Scotland, which has previously prompted a temporary shutdowns of the plant.

"The #TornessNuclearPowerPlant has reported concerns regarding jellyfish as far back as 2011, when it was forced to shut down for nearly a week—at an estimated cost of $1.5 million a day—because of the free-swimming marine animals.

"In a short comment to Motherboard, #EDFEnergy, which runs the Torness plant, said that 'jellyfish blooms are an occasional issue for our power stations,' but also said that media reports claiming the plant had recently been taken offline because of jellyfish are 'inaccurate.' '[There were] no emergency procedures this or last week related to jellyfish or otherwise,' a spokesperson said. [Um, did they previously work for #TEPCOLies?]

" 'Like many other seaside power plants, the Torness plant uses seawater to prevent overheating. While there are measures in place to prevent aquatic life from entering the intake pipes, according to the #BulletinOfTheAtomicScientists, they are no match for the sheer number of jellyfish that come during so-called 'jellyfish blooms.'

" 'Usually, screens prevent aquatic life and similar debris from being drawn into the power plants’ cooling system,' the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists wrote in a 2015 blog post. 'But when sufficiently large volumes of jellyfish or other aquatic life are pulled in, they block the screens, reducing the volume of water coming in and forcing the reactor to shut down.'

"While the case in Scotland has once again spotlighted concerns regarding the jellyfish and potential power plant shutdowns, these concerns are far from new. In 2008, a swarm of jellyfish shut down a nuclear power plant [#DiabloCanyon -- which had another incident in 2024] in #California, and three years later the same occurred at a plant in Japan [#Shimane]. In 2017, jellyfish clogged a power plant in Israel [#Hadera]."

From 2022. I'm guessing it was #RussianDrones

#Sweden #drones: Sightings reported over #NuclearPlants and palace

18 January 2022

"Days of sightings of drones over key Swedish sites including nuclear plants have prompted the country's security service to take the lead in an investigation.

"Three nuclear sites have been targeted and sightings have been reported over airports and the royal palace.

"Authorities have not speculated on who is behind the mysterious drones.

"Police and the coastguard are searching the sea and islands around Stockholm, local media reports say.

"The latest sightings on Monday evening involved a drone above the #ForsmarkNuclearPlant, but security agency Sapo said it was also investigating earlier drone flights near the #Ringhals and #Oskarshamn power plants. Police appealed to the public to come forward with information.

"Sapo said the drones were suspected of 'grave unauthorised dealing with secret information'.

"'The security service is conducting the investigation regarding the drone flights over our nuclear plants. Regarding other drone observations it's so far a matter for the police,' Sapo official Fredrik Hultgren told the BBC.

"He refused to give details about the type of drone, but they have been widely described as military-style and as having large wings.

"Swedish TV reported that a police helicopter was following a drone flying above it at a height of up to 1,000m (3,280ft) to the south-west and north-west of the capital Stockholm.

"According to the Aftonbladet news site, a drone was seen over the weekend circling the parliament and government buildings, as well as the royal palace in Stockholm. Drones were earlier spotted near Kiruna and Lulea airports.

"Prosecutors are keeping an open mind over who is behind the drone flights. They come at a time of increased military alert in Sweden because of tensions between #Russia and the West over the Russian military build-up near the borders of #Ukraine.

"Sweden has recently deployed troops to the Baltic island of Gotland in what officials describe as a signal that Sweden's military forces are ready to defend their territory.

"Sweden is not a member of the Nato defence alliance but said it was responding to three Russian landing craft moving into the Baltic Sea through Denmark's Great Belt Strait."
