About 100 staff at a nuclear plant in southern France have been exposed to a low dose of radiation, power firm Electricite de France (EDF) says. They were "slightly contaminated" by radioactive particles that escaped from a pipe at a reactor complex in Tricastin, an EDF spokeswoman said. The incident comes two weeks after a leak forced the temporary closure of a reactor at the Tricastin facility.
