There are reports of a blast at the southern French nuclear plant of Marcoule, in the Gard region – with further claims that there is a risk of radioactive leakage. The explosion followed a fire in a radioactive waste storage sight, killing one person and injuring three more.

France’s atomic energy commission released a statement, declaring that so far there has been no leak, but a security perimeter has been set up because of the risk.

The BBC reports that while the plant does produce MOX fuel, which recycles plutonium from nuclear weapons, it does not include any reactors.

The plant is in the southern part of France, towards the Mediterranean coast.
