An explosion occurred at nuclear power plants in France

At the nuclear power plant, Fleminil in the northwest of France, an explosion occurred, reports the Ouest France.

The explosion occurred at about 10 a.m. local time. According to the publication, several people could suffer as a result of the incident.

The authorities report that there are no threats to the release of radioactive substances, since the explosion did not affect the part of the station where the nuclear reactor is located. Reuters interlocutors also confirmed the lack of a threat of radioactive emissions.

The nuclear power plant is located in the Nizhny Normandy region, on the shore of the La-Channel Strait.
