An unprecedented invasion of jellyfish earlier this week managed to accomplish what decades worth of activists have failed to do: Shut down San Luis Obispo County’s Diablo Canyon Nuclear Power Plant. Shortly before 9 p.m. Tuesday, alarms began to sound at the Pacific Gas and Electric’s Avila Beach facility. Water pressure readings for the power plant’s cooling system were skyrocketing and no one could figure out why. After a team of scuba divers surveyed the underwater scene of the bay that feeds the plant’s intake valves, they determined the culprit: Hundreds of moon jellyfish (Aurelia aurita) had jammed the pipes, prompting officials to power down the plant.
