Not seeing any real indication of cause, but most of the news sites I am looking at are in French, and my French is quite rusty.

According to the Mail there is no threat of a nuclear leak, the incident is described “a significant technical event but it is not a nuclear accident”.

Hundreds have joined protests against the reactor, which is due to be turned on in 2018 after costing an estimated €10.5bn (£9bn).

Probably an accident, but just more info

Good to hear that they don’t seem worried about contamination.

What I am seeing in French seems to me to suggest that this isn’t that bad - injury numbers seem lower than the news report I’ve posted as details firm up. I hope that’s because they are accounting for people as safe, and not just because they haven’t found injured yet. But as I say my French is rusty and not all that technical.

The companies lie about the things initially. Remember Fukushima. Not that they are, but that is their track record.

Maybe they need to cut the workers wine rations.

Five people were slightly intoxicated but not injured’, he added.

If a terrorist and/or refugee connection, Trump needs to point out that refugees given legal status can get jobs in critical positions and cause cataclymic damage.

Not fear-mongering. Just fact.

French language media in France reporting everything is under control, no risk. No specifics, either. Okaaaay....

This is a new plant under construction, I believe.
