Here we go again: Again MOX is involved there is fire and radioactive leak possible. I have relatives in the area.
One person has been killed and four injured, one seriously, by an explosion at the southern French nuclear site of Marcoule.
There were no radioactive leaks after the blast, caused by a fire near a furnace in the Centraco radioactive waste storage site, officials said.
It produces MOX fuel, which recycles plutonium from nuclear weapons, but does not include reactors.
It is a major site involved with the decommissioning of nuclear facilities.
No leaks but then Fukushima was looking fine for first day even though reactors melted soon and were shattered by earthquake and severity of Chernobil was also not reported during first weeks.
EDIT: also no reactors, they only reprocess spent fuel there.
