Right now ANY news involving the word "Nuclear" is going to be met with rampant hysteria. Although given that France is one of the few powers not needlessly curtailing their nuke plants, I am curious if this is going to be treated with a more level head then some of the other things we have seen.

Its a MOX fuel plant and the blast is now being said to have occurred after a fire in a trash burner; so not anything nuclear at all. In fact this will reduce radiation releases it sounds like, since they use the burner to burn slightly radioactive material like workers protective clothing.

And according to the French government, the nuclear industry AND independent measurements, no radioactivity was released to the environment - at all. This is just an bog-standard industrial accident which happened to occur in a facility related to something nuclear.
