Re: Et sinon, dans les média...

L'IRSN ne dit rien.

L'article du NY times dont tu donnes le lien cite un certain Olivier Isnard de l'IRSN (peut être pas un communiqué officiel néanmoins)

Olivier Isnard, an emergency manager at France’s Institute for Radioprotection and Nuclear Safety said that the explosion took place in the foundry of the waste processing plant, which was melting down about four tons of used radioactive metal. The cause of the explosion was not yet known, he said, but he stressed that the level of radiation — about 67,000 becquerels — contained in the molten metal was extremely low.

"This is very, very low — nothing close to the radioactivity you would find inside a nuclear power plant," he said.

He said the fire had been extinguished and there was no damage to the foundry building itself. The building’s air conditioning and ventilation systems continued to function normally and initial tests show no change to environmental radiation levels at the site, he said.

Nonetheless, he said, the safety agency dispatched a crisis team and a group of specialized firefighters to take air and soil samples for analysis, the results of which were expected later Monday.

"I expect these will confirm that there has been no environmental impact," said Mr. Isnard, who also spent a month in Japan as an adviser in the wake of the nuclear disaster at the Fukushima power plant in March.
