French state-controlled power group Electricite de France SA (EDF.FR)
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.
In a tweet, EDF said the fire had been put out and that no one had been hurt
during the incident.
EDF's unusual form of announcement underscores the group's wariness after a
series of fires at several of its nuclear plants last year triggered a massive
public outcry.
EDF is the world's largest nuclear operator, with 58 reactors in
France
alone, a country where until the nuclear catastrophe of
Fukushima
in
Japan
two
years ago, the use of nuclear power was unquestioned.
