Flamanville reactor blast: No nuclear risk, say officials
An explosion and fire have occurred at the Flamanville nuclear plant on France's northern coast but there was no nuclear risk, officials say.
"It is a significant technical event but it is not a nuclear accident," senior local official Olivier Marmion told AFP news agency.
Five people reported feeling unwell but none was seriously injured.
Flamanville has two nuclear reactors. A third one under construction is the model for a new reactor in the UK.
The cause of the blast was not immediately known.
