When there's heavy cloud cover, sometimes the vapor from the cooling towers will extend to the cloud base, making it look like Limerick is the source of the whole thing. Occasionally there will be only one cloud, presumably because the other unit has been shut down. Very rarely is there none at all.
Random fact: While New Zealand is famously nuclear-free, they have a geothermal power station with a basically identical cooling tower.
