Evacuation of site in France , as wildfires rage near nuclear power plant being decommissioned

BRENNILIS (29) : un incendie s’est declare le 18 juillet dans les Monts d’Arree, autour de la chapelle du Mont Saint Michel de Brasparts. Ici dans la nuit pres du lac de Brennilis

The EDF site in Brennilis, consisting of a nuclear power plant being deconstructed and a thermal power plant in operation, was evacuated around 1 p.m., due to the fumes stinking the air. It’s 10 a.m. on Tuesday morning.
The swirling fire, fanned by a wind blowing at 40 – 45 km/h, plays hide and seek with the firefighters. Claire Maynadier, sub-prefect of Châteaulin, has just hung up with the director of the Brennilis nuclear power plant . The evacuation of personnel is therefore not envisaged. “The fire front
is not near. Nevertheless, it remains uncontrolled. We remain vigilant,” she explains.
