Nuclear Event in France on Thursday, 05 April, 2012 at 15:52 (03:52 PM) UTC.

Fire crews have been rushed to a nuclear reactor in northern France after an escape of smoke but the energy company EDF says the site is secure. It said 10 fire engines were working at the Penly site near Dieppe, where the reactor was shut down after the alarm was raised at 12:20 (11:20 GMT). Nobody has been hurt in the incident, the company added. France obtains 75% of its electricity from nuclear power and the industry's future has become a political issue.
