Fire and Explosion at French Nuclear Waste Storage Site

[filkertom]

Few details yet, but not good.

ETA: More details. Not a plant, a waste storage facility. No leaks as of yet, and a leak does not appear likely. One person killed, four injured.

"Nuclear Plant" implies reactor. It's a Nuclear waste reprocessing facility. *Big* difference.

Leak of no, I fear that this, so soon after japan, means we can pretty much give up on anyone having a sane thought about safe nuclear power in the near future.

Sadly true. *sigh*
