“Several people are being treated for smoke inhalation after an explosion at a nuclear power plant in France.
Authorities said there was ‘no nuclear risk’ following the blast in Flamanville around 10am local time (9am GMT) on Thursday.
‘It is a significant technical issue but does not constitute a nuclear accident,’ Olivier Marmion, director of the prefect’s office, told AFP, adding that the explosion occurred outside the nuclear zone.”
