Nuclear Event - North-America - USA
Strange, jellyfish-like creatures swarming a coastal nuclear power plant: It might sound like the premise of a cult horror flick, but the invasion has prompted officials at the Diablo Canyon facility in San Luis Obispo, Calif., to curtail operations for at least a few days. The plant's operator, Pacific Gas & Electric, cut power generation from one of the plant's two reactors to 25 percent of its capacity, spokesman Tom Cuddy said Wednesday. The other reactor was shut down this week for what PG&E described as routine refueling and maintenance, a procedure that could take about a month.

Workers on Monday discovered an influx of the creatures, called salp, clogging screens that are used to keep marine life out of the sea water used as a coolant, Cuddy said. Often thronging many square miles of ocean in huge, gelatinous masses, salp are tubular, transparent organisms that can be roughly the size of a human thumb. No one knows how many are at the Avila Beach plant or how long they will remain. "We'll continue to monitor the intake structure and clean the salp off the screens," Cuddy said. "Once they decide to move on and it's safe to do so, we'll resume full power." That could take several days, he said, but no blackouts or interruptions are anticipated. Jellyfish swarmed Diablo Canyon in 2008, triggering a steep, sudden decrease in power generation. Over the years, they have been a problem at nuclear plants in the U.S., Japan, Israel and Scotland. The San Onofre plant in northern San Diego County, while currently closed over several equipment issues, has not had a jellyfish problem, according to a spokeswoman for its operator, Southern California Edison.

Salps do not usually go coastal. "Ordinarily they live further out at sea," said Larry Madin, a salp expert and research director at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution in Massachusetts. "It sounds like these were brought in on a current or blown in by wind." Salps live about a year. "They're quite elegant animals," Madin said. "They're beautiful. They look like they're made of cut glass, but they're soft." Research by Madin and his colleagues suggests that salps play a role in reducing greenhouse gases. They absorb carbon from plankton and drop it in heavy pellets to the sea floor, where it sits, instead of rising into the atmosphere as carbon dioxide. When asked what he would advise for Diablo Canyon, Madin said, "Wait a few days. They'll probably go away and probably won't come back soon. They're harmless _ they don't sting _ but they're not too good for power plants." Victor Dricks, a spokesman for the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, said the salp pose no threat to the plant. Curtailing operations while the creatures cling to the filters is a prudent move for PG&E, he said, because any potential shutdown is easier when the generator is at less than full power.

Peekaboo bezerkers. the above post by krispy is important :)

Wow .. pee-ka-booh indeed ..lol..
Hi Aco.

These are the creatures clogging that nuclear station :
[link to en.wikipedia.org]

Goo-gle images gives perfect and beautifull examples, but the link is to long to post here.
If you wanna see the little workers just have a try yourselves. You wont be disappointed :)


Wiki :
transparent, tubular, gelatinous animals that are typically between 1 and 10 centimetres (0.39 and 3.9 in) tall.

a single barrel-shaped animal that reproduces asexually by producing a chain of tens to hundreds of individuals, which are released from the parent at a small size. The chain of salps is the aggregate portion of the life cycle. The aggregate individuals are also known as blastozooids; they remain attached together while swimming and feeding, and each individual grows in size. Each blastozooid in the chain reproduces sexually (the blastozooids are sequential hermaphrodites, first maturing as females, and are fertilized by male gametes produced by older chains), with a growing embryo oozoid attached to the body wall of the parent. The growing oozoids are eventually released from the parent blastozooids, then they continue to feed and grow as the solitary asexual phase, thus closing the life cycle of salps.

When there is plenty of food, salps can quickly bud off clones, which graze the phytoplankton and can grow at a rate which is probably faster than any other multicellular animal, quickly stripping the phytoplankton from the sea. But if the phytoplankton is too dense, the salps can clog and sink to the bottom. During these blooms, beaches can become slimy with mats of salp bodies
Sinking fecal pellets and bodies of salps carry carbon to the sea floor, and salps are abundant enough to have an effect on the ocean's biological pump. Consequently, large changes in their abundance or distribution may alter the ocean's carbon cycle, and potentially play a role in climate change.

Although salps appear similar to jellyfish because of the simple body form and planktonic behavior, they are structurally most closely related to vertebrates, animals with true backbones.
Salps appear to have a form preliminary to vertebrates, and are used as a starting point in models of how vertebrates evolved. Scientists speculate that the tiny groups of nerves in salps are one of the first instances of a primitive nervous system, which eventually evolved into the more complex central nervous systems of vertebrates.[3]


Salps are common in equatorial, temperate, and cold seas, where they can be seen at the surface, singly or in long, stringy colonies. The most abundant concentrations of salps are in the Southern Ocean (near Antarctica). Here they sometimes form enormous swarms, often in deep water, and are sometimes even more abundant than krill.[2] Since 1910, while krill populations in the Southern Ocean have declined, salp populations appear to be increasing.

One of the questions in this riddle is :
What attracts Salp to nuclear plants ?
Whats there to find or to do ?


[link to www.divediscover.whoi.edu]
Salps are gelatinous, tube-shaped animals that live in all oceans. Like krill, salps eat phytoplankton, so they often compete for the same food. Salps feed by pumping water through their hollow bodies and sieving phytoplankton out with an internal filter net.

What benefit is there for their hollow boddies and internal filtering net at the filters of nuclear plants ?


In the last thirty years, scientists have observed an overall decrease in the numbers of krill and an increase in numbers of salps in the waters surrounding Antarctica. The shift in abundances of these animals may be related to changes in the amount of sea ice around Antarctica, which is in turn affected by global climate. More ice may favor the krill, because they can feed on algae growing under the ice. Less ice may favor salps, which swim and feed in open water.

No ice at nuclear plants ...
Do they FEED on something in those filters ?
To me it is highly unthinkable that a strong wind/current could be the only reason these critters are brought to specific nuclear plants their systems.
Is there probably a reason/a trigger that attracts them ? A vibration ? A maintenance state or change ?


Salps are too fragile to catch alive in nets, so researchers will collect them by scuba diving.

If they are too FRAGILE to be caught in NETS ... what the heck are they doing in FILTERS of a highly toxic enviroment like a nuclear plant ????


Back on board the ship, biologists will keep salps in cold seawater in specially designed tanks to measure how much phytoplankton they eat in a day, and how much they grow. Some of the scientists will study how the salps’ filter feeding mechanism works, and which phytoplankton cells are most nutritious for them. Researchers will also measure salp metabolic rates to see how much food is required for the population to thrive. In addition to mapping the distribution and abundance of salp populations, scientists will also measure their vertical migration through the water column—a pattern of behavior that causes them to swim up to the surface at night and back to deep water during the day. The causes of this daily migration by salps are still a mystery.

Isnt the water at nuclear plant-filters [relatively] WARM ???
Could some metabolic features be benefitting from nuclear water ??



The VERTICAL MIGRATION PATTERN !!!!

Remember OP/Aco talking about the organism moving in "vertical spagetti-like colloms" ...

We just learned from WIKI that these SALPS move and live in long chains [producing an aggregate chain of tens to hundreds of individuals ... they remain attached together while swimming and feeding]

OP/Aco also talked about "surfacing" of the organism ... just like the salps do ...

This poses the next question :
How closely is AUgie related to these Salps ?
Like we learned NOT a JELLYFISH but more closely related to the ancestors of the VERTEBATE ... and thus HUMANS ...

This just in from NSF

Gulf Oil Spill: Scientists Develop New Model for Deep-water Oil Spills
Call for a "whole new type" of marine ecology
[link to www.nsf.gov]

Nice Isis.


End-Snip:
"We have generally hailed the use of [chemical] dispersants as helpful, but are basing this on the fact that we seemed to have kept oil from getting to the surface," said co-author Gary Cherr of the University of California, Davis Bodega Marine Lab.

"The truth is that much of this oil probably was staying at depth independent of the amount of surfactants we dumped into the ocean. "And we dumped a lot of dispersants into the ocean, all told approximately one-third the global supply."

Co-author Ron Tjeerdema, an environmental toxicologist at UC Davis, concurs. "The problem is that we must address the downside of such compounds, particularly in light of the fact that the upside probably was not as great as it seemed at the time," he said.

Armed with a new foundation for research and policy implications, the scientists are calling for further investigation on the long-term effects of deep-water oil spills like that of the Deepwater Horizon.

"We now have a sense that the bulk of the effects were probably in the mid-water and deep ocean," said the paper's lead author, Charles "Pete" Peterson of the University of North Carolina - Chapel Hill. "We need an integrated collaboration among deep-water explorers, modelers, ecotoxicologists, microbial ecologists and others. All working together in unprecedented ways.

"We need a whole new type of marine ecology."

Hmmmm ...

Power plants of all types (not just nuclear plants) that draw cooling water from bodies of water adversely affect aquatic organisms in three primary ways: thermally by heating the water, by entrainment where small fish and fish larva are sucked into the cooling system and are injured as they pass through, and by impingement where fish are injured by the plant’s intake but not sucked though the cooling system.
[link to thisweekinnuclear.com]

Wonder if these jellies are attracted to the lower vibrational fields around these nuke plants? Just a thought.

Okay here I think I have found a correlation
between nuclear plants water-systems and the salps :


In water column and sediment inocula from a nuclear reactor cooling reservoir, natural phytoplankton substrate labeled with 14C was used to determine aerobic and anaerobic mineralization rates for a range of temperatures (25, 40, 55, and 70°C) expected during reactor operation. For experiments that were begun during reactor shutdown, aerobic decomposition occurred at temperatures of <55°C. After 2 months of reactor operation, aerobic rates increased substantially at 55 and 70°C, although maximum rates were observed at temperatures of .40'C. The temperature range for which maximum anaerobic mineralization (i.e., the sum of
CH4 and C02) was observed was 25 to 40°C when the reactor was off, expanding to 25 to 55°C during reactor operation. Increased rates at 55°C, but not 70°C, correlated with an increase in the ratio of cumulative methane to carbon dioxide produced over 21 days. When reduced reactor power lowered the maximum temperature of the reservoir to 42°C, aerobic decomposition at 70°C was negligible, but remained substantial at 55°C. Selection for thermophilic decomposers occurred rapidly in this system in both aerobic and anaerobic communities and did not require prolonged exposure to elevated temperatures.

Now wiki said something about Salps and Carbon dioxide !


And here is an article :
Salp Feeding in the Oceans Removes Carbon Dioxide

On 9 August 2010 Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) released some new findings about the feeding behaviour of salps, and the way they might influence carbon dioxide levels in the ocean. They can feed on much smaller plants than was previously thought, and they effectively lock up carbon in their faecal pellets.

It now seems that particles as small as 0.5 microns (small enough to pass through the mesh) can be captured. They simply stick to the mucus. These small particles are similar in size to the tiny phytoplankton, and by eating them the salps play an important role in cycling carbon.
Salps extract the nutrients they need, then package the waste in large, dense faecal pellets. As Sutherland points out: “This removes carbon from the surface waters, and brings it to a depth where you won’t see it again for years to centuries.”

Now maybe I am on a wrong track,
and my knowledge about the nuclear cooling-water systems and their filters is not great ....
but there HAS to be a reason why jelly's and Salps are attracted to those waters in certain stages of opperation [of reactors] at those nuclear plants.

It could be a sonic sound [oscillations] ...
it could be the rate of decomposition of injured and deceased fish in those filters

Could [at certain conditions at those plants] phytoplankton be triggered to bloom ? and thus atracting the salps ? Making the population bloom and ultimately sink to the oceans floor with all the carbon stored in their internals ...

wiki:
When phytoplankton is abundant, this rapid reproduction leads to fairly short-lived blooms of salps, which eventually filter out most of the phytoplankton. The bloom ends when there is no longer enough food to sustain the enormous population of salps.

When there is plenty of food, salps can quickly bud off clones, which graze the phytoplankton and can grow at a rate which is probably faster than any other multicellular animal, quickly stripping the phytoplankton from the sea. But if the phytoplankton is too dense, the salps can clog and sink to the bottom. During these blooms, beaches can become slimy with mats of salp bodies, and other planktonic species can experience fluctuations in their numbers due to competition with the salps.

Sinking fecal pellets and bodies of salps carry carbon to the sea floor, and salps are abundant enough to have an effect on the ocean's biological pump. Consequently, large changes in their abundance or distribution may alter the ocean's carbon cycle, and potentially play a role in climate change.

Now thinking on that some more,
then I see a clear picture that the electromagnetic field(s) at and around waste-water systems and cooling-water-systems could be changed,
just like the field around SUBS equipped with D.E.D.-coating ...
I just recently read somewhere that when the EM-field of an atom is changed, that it changes the atom also.
So what does EM-field alterations do to microscopic organisms [in water] ???
Probably such a field-change influences the conditions of 'bloom or not to bloom' ... since ALL LIFE is a composition of electro and magnetic fields and matter forming a matrix in which a lifeform can manifest.

Wiki told us that Salps have a NERVOUS SYSTEM ... (and that they are the ancestors of vertebrae species)...
isnt or arnt nervous systems and synapses responding to electro-magnetical pulses in our body ??

If SPLASHZONES are areas where reality is changed/altered,
then I asume that they are also Electro-Magnetical of nature ...
thus triggering the nerval systems of Earth herself, and on a later stage those of all life equiped with nervous systems !

It could be that 'nuclear power plants' and 'nuclear subs, specially with DED/D.D' (and many other facilities) are mimicking the conditions of cosmic synapses, deep-space sysnapses, communication synapses ... working in the quantum fields of science, listening to quantum laws ...


How Bezerk would it be to boldly think that splashzones are cosmic points where synapses are occuring just like information is transmitted and transported in our nervous system ?
That would make AUgie a conductor, a tool to make transport easier/smoother.
The funny thing is that this was proposed also pages ago ...lol.. with the postings about liquid crystal fluids in our body and organism !

(Are You a Polyphasic Liquid Crystal? [link to liamscheff.com] )

Here an other example that EM-fields can manipulate/influence nervous systems:

Nervous system manipulation by electromagnetic fields from monitors US Patent #6,506,148
“SUMMARY: Computer monitors and TV monitors can be made to emit weak low-frequency electromagnetic fields merely by pulsing the intensity of displayed images. Experiments have shown that the 1/2 Hz sensory resonance can be excited in this manner in a subject near the monitor. The 2.4 Hz sensory resonance can also be excited in this fashion. Hence, a TV monitor or computer monitor can be used to manipulate the nervous system of nearby people.”
“It is thus apparent that the human nervous system can be manipulated by screen emissions from subliminal TV image pulses.”
The human nervous system controls everything from breathing and producing digestive enzymes, to memory and intelligence. (Human Nervous System)

Though this is about "monitors" the same goes for every facility that emits EM-frequencies or alters them -like subs- ...
It isnt hard to believe that swarms of jelly's or salp-like organisms are attracted and/or influenced by these fields around subs and nuclear plants just like monitors are influencing us.


What do we BEZERKERS think about this ?

I have seen the light. I apologize to all here I may have offended while I was being so blind and ignorant....esp Krispy. I will tell all who are interested in my findings. I wish it hadnt taken me so long....or come to this.

No problem, welcome back GULFIE.

you have the floor....speak!

... this will be interesting. I like the 'ie' better than the 'er'.

- ooops, I'm not here. (or there) Oh this is just getting too confusing.

Hey BHD !

Psst... [whispers] I'm not really here. But HI Doobs!

Just look at this shiney aluminium stick I'm holding, right at the top of it.... bling!

[I've stolen half your popcorn, but you're OK with it]

Everybody knows that already, LOl, I bet she saw the very dark side of Acolyte and what he is really about.

You'd think I'm the least likely to spring to his defense .. but remember what he was tasked to do, and how he was tasked to do it. He's never deviated from what he was briefed to do, and has always pushed and defended that perspective.

How he's gone about doing that has rubbed many up the wrong way, but none of us would be here had he not presented the info in the first place, across multiple threads, - and continued it elsewhere - all be it off reservation.

It's all perspectives. Do with the info what you wish, follow up what ever gels with your own thoughts, throw it out there and see what others think.

No-one's right or wrong, - until the day you stand there, finger extended at the Draco fleet commander, and he makes the organism dissolve you where you stand.
Then some quick revison might be required! LOL.

That was a pretty big gesture I thought, Aco' popping in, especially considering the post he backed - was from Krispy.

- there's hope for the planet yet.
