Looks to be a waste reprocessing plant rather than a power station.
The first reports I've seen appear that it was a furnace that went pop - so more likely a flammable gas explosion than a nuclear incident.
If it happened anywhere else, it would make the local news and that would be it but nuclear scaremongering gets people going. We'll be back in caves soon...

Yeppers. BBC stickign with 'nuclear site' but it isn't a power station and there are no reactors.
Still won't stop the anti-nuclear brigade will it?

Interesting that 90 minutes after I posted my initial post about this from a German website and 3/4 of an hour since I saw it on the BBC website, Sky news still hasn't mentioned it.
