The aim of this innovation project is to develop a tool for the prediction of probabilities and scales of a jellyfish bloom at EDF’s Torness Nuclear Power Station using (a) a generic probability grid and (b) a prediction based on an observed bloom in the North Sea. Such tool will allow rapid risk evaluation and inform operational response by the industry partners tackling reduction of electricity production caused by jellyfish ingress into cooling water systems of coastal power stations.
