Soon it will be jellyfish?

A s I live some 10 Miles South of this establishment, I have seen jellyfish, washed up on the beech in front of my home about two months ago,

None since then?

Question?

Why did the Sea water "filters" not spot this stuff and more importantly stop its entry into a critical system ? ?

How does an inanimate filter "spot" things? The big problem occurs when
they are quite simply overwhelmed by the amount of jellyfish that can occur
sporadically.

As a filter, guess there really doing there job, now that Cockenzie has gone cold guess Torness will attract things looking for warmed water on the outlets.

As long as keep the Tornados flying a reasonagle distance fron the thing, last one they fished out the sea looked closse enough for discomfort.

Apparently jellyfish are multiplying throughout the oceans. If you want
to be scared (and fascinated), read this:

Indeed. It's not an uncommon problem a few days after heavy weather,
this "untethers" seaweed which then drifts around in a compact mass
until it blocks the rotating "drum screens" of the cooling water
intakes. Something has gone wrong if it gets as far as the condensers!
Although these do get blocked gradually by mussels and other such
things. Also used to be a regular problem at Dounreay.

ISTR that some stations also get shut down by large shoals of sprats.
Retrieving salmon, rays, sea bass etc. from drum screens is one of the
"perks" of an otherwise fairly unpleasant job.
