Jellyfish, Nuclear Power Stations, Cropcircles

In the last few days, millions of jellyfish have closed 4 nuclear reactors in 3 seperate muclear power stations.

2 reactors in Scotland UK, 1 reactor in Japan & 1 reactor in Israel

Is this coincidence, nature retaliating (remember the 2009 jellyfish crop circle) or just a random incease in jellyfish numbers who may be attracted to electricity??

Its Mother Nature saying
"We said STOP!"

I was just watching something on the History channel or some TV show within the past 2 weeks, where they were talking about how there are an unprecedented number of jellyfish now and it's ruining the fishing industry in Japan. They were interviewing fishermen about all the problems the jellyfish are causing, and hypothesizing why their numbers are increasing. Interesting to see that it's not only fishing they're disrupting.

Probably all the radioactive water Japan has been dumping into the ocean the past 4 months with no end in sight. Mother Nature is pissed at Nuke Plants... first the Tsunami, then the flooding in the USA (Nebraska plant is still threatened and now attack by jellyfish in three countries at the same time?

Scroll down and look at the pictures on this page:

That can't be written off as mere coincidence, sorry no way!

This is really bizarre... It seems that nature itself, or some other mystery force is at work here.

I dont usually gawk at the sensational, but I remember a Jellyfish Cropcircle that stirred
the pot a few years back.

Yep, here it is (crop circle) from 2009
Back in time

....A 600ft jellyfish pattern has appeared in a barley field in Kingstone Coombes, Oxfordshire,
in what is one of the most intriguing crop circles ever seen in Britain.
The vast pattern appeared in the field last week and experts are claiming it to be the
first of its kind in the world.....

Very artistic, good work! Kudos to whomever!

Also, there are comments on that page that are posted from Israel claiming that the power station is NOT nuclear, and stressing that Israel does NOT have nuclear power.

They are the only comments posted so far.

Seems rather odd... and the comments all seem rather scripted, saying almost exactly the same things.

Interesting, now I want to find out more about this place in Israel.

The photo captions have been changed to say "coal fired" power plant in Israel, but the news report still says "nuclear"

Maybe they should correct that too?

Weird.

That's insane and you know something? Maybe all the Anti-Semites on ATS could be right after all and Israel will bring about the end of the world?

If I see a 50 foot jellyfish with laser cannons on its tentacles or whatever they have for limbs, that's my cue to hit the cave and try to survive on rations.

I wonder why they're doing this. Oh nature, you are crazy but I still love ya.

Those have got to be Iranian Jellyfish sent by the Ayatollah himself.

Just in case anyone doubts this is "real' news MSNBC has it too.

A nuclear power plant on the coast of Israel was forced to shut down this week when its seawater cooling system became clogged with jellyfish. A similar incident temporarily disabled two nuclear reactors at the Torness power station on the Scottish coast last week. A week before, a reactor in Shimane, Japan was crippled by yet another jellyfish infiltration. ........

"The several [power plant incidents] that happened recently aren't enough to indicate a global pattern. They certainly could be coincidental," said Monty Graham, a jellyfish biologist and senior marine scientist at the Dauphin Island Sea Lab off the Gulf Coast of Alabama.

Graham said there have been dozens of cases of jellyfish causing partial or complete shutdowns of coastal power plants in the past few decades, as well as shutdowns of desalination plants. Steve Haddock of the Monterrey Bay Aquarium Research Institute said a power plant in Australia was shut down by jellyfish as long ago as 1937. Such events aren't surprising; all these plants draw water out of the ocean, and they are already fitted with filtration devices called flumes that remove jellyfish and other debris.
"Only when you have a huge influx of jellies do they overwhelm the flumes,"

We in Georgia, USA take pride in shrimp caught in our waters.

I tried to buy some down at the docks last week and found most of the shrimp boats are now rigged to catch jelly fish.

Seems there is a big market in Asia and elsewhere for the yucky creature.

Our waters here are loaded with the pests.

It's like the jellys are saying,' use us for your electrical needs ,we create our own power through thought.'
Got to love those jellyfish ,sacrificing themselves for the greater good.

I also live near the power station in Hadera and even took my family on one of their regularly scheduled child-friendly tours. It's definitely not a nuclear power plant. You need to recheck your facts here.

That's funny - I live near the Hadera power station and never new it is nuclear-powered. Maybe you have a world scoop? Or could it just be irresponsible journalism (not unprecedented when it comes to reporting on Israel)

Israel does not have a nuclear-fuelled power statition. The Hadera station is dual-fuelled by coal and natural gas.
In addition to getting your facts right, you may also try to correct your grammar.

Wonder how long it will take to get MSNBC to edit their report that is stating it is a "nuclear" power plant changed also to "coal-fired"?

Which is the actual truth here?

reply to post by Fractured.Facade


Interesting, so its just the Isreal plant that are "supposedly" coal fired?
As in...the misinformation by the MSM is only about Isreal? ETA

Or the commentators on the MSM article are disinfo?

It has to be one or the other.

reply to post by burntheships


Lets just blame all of the confusion on the jellyfish, and call it a day, eh?

reply to post by Fractured.Facade


Thats the easy way out...lets look at the facts. Kudos to you for catching the misinfo in the
story. See the latter news source.

Here:

By Jennifer Lipman, July 6, 2011
Tonnes of jellyfish have swarned into the power system
Israel has been faced with a new threat from the sea – a swarm of jellyfish.
The sea creatures have managed to interfere with the running of a power plant in Hadera.

Several tonnes of the slimy creatures have been sucked in to the machinery of the plant, which uses sea water for cooling down. A number of workers at the plant have also reported being stung.

Scientists from Israel's Electric Corp warned that unless the problem is sorted out, cities around Israel could be without power, because once in the system the jellyfish diffused to become "gels"."This gel blocks the condenser and interrupts the condensing of the steam. And in severe events, it might stop the power plant from producing electricity," said plant worker Nachum Plaumbaum.

and here...

UPDATE AND CORRECTION, July 8, 2011:
Israel is considering building nuclear power plants and “already has two reactors--the secretive Dimona facility in the Negev desert, where it is widely assumed to have produced nuclear weapons, and a research reactor, open to international inspection, at Nahal Soreq near Tel Aviv.” However, we cited incorrect sources in calling the Hadera plant a nuclear plant.

The Jewish Chronicle story we linked to simply identifies the plant as “a power plant in Hadera.” Several other sources, including CBS News, added “nuclear.” In the most detailed story, posted July 7 (a day after we posted), The Jerusalem Post identifies it as “Orot Rabin coal power plant.” We regret repeating the error.

edit on 10-7-2011 by burntheships because: add KUDOS to FracturedFacade...and the media needs to get the facts straight

reply to post by burntheships


Good, so the controversy is settled, if you are satisfied that this is NOT a nuclear facility... Then we can call it case closed... with the exception that other news outlets are still "erroneously" reporting it as a nuclear power facility.

lol, never a dull moment here on ATS, even in a thread about jellyfish.

I must confess...never a dull moment, not with minds like yours and mine....
and many others here on ATS.

The laugh is on the MSM....or us, if the Isreali are operating in secret.
Either way, to you.
