Leak risk after explosion at French nuclear plant


Recommended Posts

News story only a couple of days ago:

 

"We are being asked to believe that EDF are fit and proper people to build the next generation of nuclear power stations, starting at Hinkley Point, when these documents make clear they're not."

and:

 

The French nuclear safety watchdog has asked EDF to fix a series of “gaps and weaknesses” in its €6bn ($8.6bn) flagship project to build a next-generation atomic plant in northern France, putting more pressure on a programme already beset by spiralling costs and delays.

A member of the French Institute for Radioprotection and Nuclear Safety told the WSJ that because of the low level of radioactivity in the waste products and the fact that damage to the building as a whole was slight, the amount of radiation released should be "very, very low."
