Summary: Jellyfish have clogged the pipes at the nuke reactor in the south of Sweden. The pipes had to be cleaned on Tuesday so the plant could start up again. This was not the first problem with jellyfish, three incidences have occurred in the last decade. They don't know how to stop this from happening, but it might happen more often later. They also have no way of tracking the jellyfish.
Analysis: The writer wanted to inform the reader of a strange occurrence that happen. In the text he used ethos and logos, he put in some reactions of the people around the jellyfish cleanup. I think that this is not really a problem, but since the jellyfish clogged the pipes so much the nuke reactor had to shut down, it could become a bigger problem. They don't have to monitor all of the jellyfish just some, but they need to check the pipes more often and not wait for something like this to happen again.

ReplyDeleteThis is such a strange event. It is interesting to see how animals react to humans and our own technology; there must be a reason why the Jellyfish keep on end up being in the pipes. I hope that they are not harmed.

Felicia Padilla 5th period: this story is representative of the ongoing debate over nature or science. Many people claim that the things that humans build (buildings) get in the way of the everyday lives of creatures in nature.
ReplyDeleteI think that since it seems that they think this could happen again in the future, it would be in their best interest to create a method of keeping the jellyfish away from the reactor or monitoring where the jellyfish are. In other words, now that the problem has arrived, a solution can be devised, and with all the technological advances in today's world, that shouldn't be much of a problem.
ReplyDeleteThis is a pretty strange story. Perhaps some sort of net could be set up in order to keep the jellyfish out of the pipes. It can't be good for them to be stuck in there, so the best plan would be one that could keep the plant running and let the jellyfish be undisturbed at the same time.
ReplyDeleteI love jellyfish. There is something cool and mystical about them. It is strange that jellyfish would be drawn to the pipes at a nuclear reactor plant. Hopefully more research will be done to see what about the plant is so appealing to them.
ReplyDeleteThere should be more situations where mankind have to look out for the well fare of wildlife. Hopefully they will find a way to keep this from becoming an issue and not wait until it is a problem.
I hate jelly fish... I find them the most haunting because you can never see them really..ugh
