The French nuclear safety body says an explosion has rocked a nuclear plant
in southern France, the Associated Press reports. French media report at
least one death, but no immediate radioactive leakage to the outside. 

Update at 8:28 a.m. ET: The Associated Press quotes the French nuclear
safety body as saying one person has been killed in the explosion of an oven
at Marcoule nuclear plant, but there have been no radioactive leaks.

Update at 8:22 a.m. ET: Le Figaro says the site, which specializes in the
treatment of radiological material, is operated by SOCODEI.

Update at 8:10 a.m. ET: The Associated Press quotes Evangelia Petit of the
Agency for Nuclear Safety as confirming the explosion but declining to
provide further details. Officials in the Gard region also confirmed
Monday's explosion but also said they could not give any more information.

The Marcoule site is located in Langedoc Roussillon, in southern France,
near the Mediterranean Sea. It is also near the city of Nimes.

Update at 8:03 a.m. ET: Le Figaro quotes a spokesman for the Atomic Energy
Commission

there has been no radioactive leak to the outside.

Update at 7:57 a.m. ET: The BBC quotes
<http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-14883521> Le Figaro newspaper as
saying one person was killed and three injured in the explosion following a
fire in a storage site for radioactive waste. The death told was reported by
France 3.

The BBC also quotes media as saying there is a risk of a radioactive leak
from the accident, which occurred in France's Gard region.

The BBC says the site is involved with the decommissioning of nuclear
facilities, and operates a pressurized water reactor used to produce
tritium.
