New Uranium Leak Found in Frence Areva Factory - Reuters - 18 Jul 08
"French nuclear firm Areva has detected a uranium leak that could date back several years at a factory it operates in southeastern France, safety authorities said on Friday. The news came just a day after the government ordered safety tests in all the country's 19 nuclear power plants following another leak at an Areva installation earlier this month."
"Areva, a state-controlled company which makes nuclear reactors and deals with uranium, said the leak came from a buried pipe transporting liquid uranium and that the crack in the tubing was 'several years old'."
