The only nuclear power plant in Massachusetts has increased security after two bombs exploded in Boston on Monday, killing at least two people and injuring dozens. The Pilgrim Nuclear Power Station in Plymouth, Massachusetts, about 45 miles (70 kilometres) south of Boston, was already shut down for refuelling when the explosions occurred.

The Indian Department of Atomic Energy has categorically denied the occurrence of any blasts or deaths at the Kudankulam nuclear plant site in southern India. Rumours are travelling faster than radiation, remarked an analyst.

One person died and another was seriously injured in an explosion on Monday in a site that treats nuclear waste in southern France, the country's nuclear safety body said, adding that no radioactive leaks have been detected.

A small crew of technicians braved radiation and fire through the day on Tuesday as they fought to prevent three nuclear reactors in northeastern Japan from melting down and stop storage ponds loaded with spent uranium fuel pods from bursting into flames.Tokyo Electric Power Company officials announced on Tuesday evening that they were preparing to...

The risk of partial meltdown at a stricken nuclear power plant in Japan increased on Monday as cooling systems failed at a third reactor, possibly exposing its fuel rods, only hours after a second explosion at a separate reactor blew the roof off a containment building.

An explosion at a nuclear power plant in northern Japan on Saturday blew the roof off one building and destroyed the exterior walls of a crippled reactor, but officials said radiation leaks from the plant were receding and that a major meltdown was not imminent.
