They're 30-year old plants that haven't been properly maintained / upgraded?

Hopefully nothing really bad happens.

i blame green peace.

"The local Midi Libre newspaper, on its web site, said an oven exploded at the plant, killing one person and seriously injuring another. No radiation leak was reported, the report said, adding that no quarantine or evacuation orders were issued for neighboring towns."

This is international news because...?

One less power plant :D

It's not complex... this is not a part of nuclear power generation in a reactor. This is an oven that's used to melt waste as part of France's reprocessing regime... a really obsolete one by the way (read about PUREX), that can be compared to smelting any metal to seperate impurities. In this case it's not so much about "skimming" off the top to remove impurties, as it is about seperating the different actinides (metals involved). @Foxhound_fox: It's hard to report on things that the reporter has ZERO understanding of.

That's why you ask for more details about what exactly the oven was.

No no! Journalism 101: Assume you know all that's needed, cite a single unnamed source as definitive, then make a series of wrong assumptions that lead to misinformation and fear. Sheesh... what are you, educated or something? ;)

Just another sign from God telling us that we should use up all the oil in the world till it's gone.

Apart from the loss of life it's quite a good result considering how this story appeared on news sites 10-11 hours ago simply with explosion at nuclear plant in France and everyone assuming the worst. No earthquake, tsunami, terrorist attack or radiation spill - looks like they got it all containedAvenger1324

"EXPLOSION AT NUCLEAR PLANT" - omg! omg! omg!

"Oven explodes at waste management facility" - yawn
