Caller Phones in Bomb Alert in France
A building at a French nuclear power plant was evacuated this week during a bomb scare, officials said Wednesday. No explosives were found. A telephone caller warned Tuesday that a bomb had been planted in a building housing one of four reactors in Flamanville, in the northwest region of Normandy, an official at the plant said. The reactor is currently shut down for maintenance and has been emptied of radioactive material. However, the plant's other three reactors are still functioning. About 60 people working in the building were evacuated Tuesday while police searched the site for more than five hours, police said. Buildings housing the other three reactors were not evacuated.Posted by: Fred 2004-04-14 |
