Nuclear fuel storage on fire Southeastern France

We are still working on securing the site", he said, adding that he could not yet comment on any pontential nuclear safety impacts.

Framatome is a unit of French nuclear energy giant EDF (EDF.PA). According to the company's website, the Romans-sur-Isere site where the fire erupted produces fuel for nuclear power reactors based on enriched uranium.

I was just discussing with a friend that at least France would be ok through the winter as they were firing up a dozen nuclear power plants...

Guess they thought of everything

The nucular business is dangerous, especially when you rush things.

At least the locals will be warm.

There currently is a United States P-8 Poseidon, South East of France.

sounds fun! nuke me first!!!

Are the fuel rods actually on fire or is there just a fire in the complex?

If the fuel is on fire then western Europe is completely done.

I would think that if the fuel were on fire, this would be a MASSIVE headline blazed all over the world. I’m thinking it’s just at the complex.

I could be totally wrong, but just a hunch.

A printer caught fire lol

I have a foreboding feeling that began yesterday.
All my spidy senses or tingling and they are telling me that danger is close.

Agreed, almost certainly not the fuel rods, as independent radiation monitoring stations in Europe would already be picking up the increase and sounding the alarm.

Someone check the gulf to make sure there arent any subs outhere.

According to reports from a mainstream news source that cannot be linked to per forum rules, the fire is now under control and there is no radiation leakage.

Didn't they tell you? Nuclear is the clean energy.

No worries!

Lol

That's the big California quake coming...

airdrop migrants on the blaze?

Over Sicily. There is a US Navy air base there, so nothing noteworthy about this.

no
it means absolutely jack shit
every day there is some dipshit on this forum telling us 'danger is close, i can feel it,' and they are always wrong
just the usual glp crap

I remember 11 years ago everyone here saying the same thing about fuku and the USA.

Roger that!

fire is out my wife's dad worked there - nothing burger

Seriously only one page for this?

meh...it's just the franch

Anyone got a Wind map where the radioactive smoke stuff is going to ?

Per a news article from five minutes ago -

A printer caught on fire.

"No radioactive substance was affected by the fire".

The site that I found that on is sketchy, so won't link it. Looking for a source that's not infectious.

If you are near in South East France, then YES !

Nuclear is the SAFEST energy source there is!!

The odds of a nuclear power reactor melting down is that out of 1000 reactors only ONE reactor will melt down in 100,000 years!!

(Obviously any rumors about something called Three Mile Island, Chernobyl, Fukushima, and Fermi One are just DIS-INFORMATION put out by those who are luddite Climate Deniers!!
FOLLOW THE SCIENCE and ignore the luddites!!)
