Not just for
Plant Vogtle anymore:
this nuclear reactor site fire was at one of
EDF’s flagship plants at
Cattenom, Lorraine, France, on the Moselle River.
ENENews quoted MarketWatch yesterday,

French state-controlled power group Electricite de France SA said
Friday a fire started on a transformer at its nuclear plant in
Cattenom, eastern France, adding that it was outside the
nuclear-processing area.
A picture tweeted from France:
At least nobody died this time, unlike at the same French nuke a few months ago.
ENENews 28 February 2013,
Reports: Two dead, one wounded at nuclear plant in France
Fox Business: French nuclear safety watchdog Autorite de Surete
Nucleaire said Thursday two workers were killed and another badly
injured at one of Electricite de France SA’s (EDF.FR) nuclear plant
in the east of France. […]

That’s not counting the deaths in the
French war in Mali for uranium in Niger.
It’s just as well
EDF didn’t get to build a new nuke at Calvert Cliffs, Maryland.
