Steam accident hurts two at France's Fessenheim nuclear plant
A blast of escaping steam has triggered a fire alert at a French nuclear power station, officials said.
French power supplier EDF said two people were slightly burnt in the incident at the Fessenheim power station in eastern France.
Local officials said "oxygenated steam" was produced when hydrogen peroxide reacted with water in a reservoir.
EDF said the escape had triggered the fire alarms but first reports of a blaze were unfounded.
