According to the Israel Electric Corporation, the jellyfish were in the thousands and had effectively clogged the special structure used for cooling equipment in the plant. Because this poses a severe disruption that could result in a reduced capacity for electricity production, workers have been working around the clock in a massive cleanup effort at the site to ensure consumers would not be affected.
