 France - Marcoule Nuclear Plant

I have been searching and searching for updated information about France's Marcoule nuclear site explosion, which was identified as being a MOX fuel site.  France has claimed it was an industrial explosion and not a nuclear explosion, but it happened at a MOX fuel producing part of the nuclear power plant.

9/16/2011 Tropical storm Roke bearing down on west Japan

Tropical storm Roke is bringing torrential rain on the Pacific side of western and central Japan. It could trigger more damage to areas already battered by a storm that hit earlier this month.

The Meteorological Agency says the tropical storm was over the sea about 190 kilometers east of Naha, Okinawa, on Friday evening local time.

The storm is packing winds of more than 80 kilometers per hour near its center.

Roke, accompanied by a warm and humid air mass from the Pacific, is currently bringing up to around 50 millimeters of rain per hour to western and central Japan.

Localized downpours have been reported in the Kii Peninsula, which saw record rains from tropical storm Talas earlier this month. Talas left nearly 100 people dead or missing.

In the Kii area, local governments have ordered hundreds of people to evacuate, as dammed-up rivers formed by landslides caused by Talas could collapse under another spell of heavy rain.

Up to 300 millimeters of rain are expected in the region by Saturday afternoon, raising fears of more landslides and other damage. Weather officials are calling on people to stay alert.

"A level of radioactivity 10 times the daily measurement of Avignon and 4 times higher than the Mont Ventoux"

According to an article published September 13, 2011 on the website of the anti-nuclear coordination Southeast (see below), an "anomalous increase" of radioactivity on the detection of X-rays, Gamma and Beta particles have been measured within a radius of 120 km downstream of Marcoule.
 
On September 12, 2011 anti-nuclear members of the Collective have made the Vaucluse independent measurements of radioactivity in different parts of Vaucluse, Gard and Herault, see the statement below:

No "credible explanation" from the makers of the nuclear accident at Marcoule and the weight of the French nuclear lobby, the collective anti-nuclear states that the cause of this increase in radioactivity could be directly linked to the bombing in the Gard.
 
In the same article, said that the collective anti-nuclear Provence is the region most nuclearized of France and its inhabitants, like those of Fukushima or Chernobyl, are daily exposed to radiation produced by the nuclear industry and the dangers posed by the French sites Triscastin, Marcoule and Cadarache, located on active seismic faults [ 1 ].
 
Finally, the collective anti-nuclear states that in the Vaucluse area of ​​malfunctions in the center of nuclear radioactive waste processing (Centraco), would do "not his first attempt," he refers to it to the list very official of accidents and incidents recorded by the ASN (Nuclear Safety Authority).
