Jellyfish are causing problems at a nuclear plant in France. The plant is in Gravelines, in the north of the country. Workers had to stop part of the station for a short time. They did this because jellyfish got into the water system. This is not a one-time event. It happened again this year, and it is the second year in a row. The plant can still work, but only with limits. Officials say they are watching the situation closely.
