France's ASN: Fire at uranium site under control, no radiation found

France's nuclear watchdog ASN on Wednesday said it had found no traces of nuclear radiation after a fire broke out at a plant containing uranium in southeastern France run by EDF unit Framatome.

"No radioactive substance was affected by the fire", the watchdog said, adding that it de-activated its emergency centre in the evening as the fire had been brought under control.

More extensive checks will be carried out by a special research team on Thursday.
