A fire broke out in a transformer station in the german atomic power reactor “Krümmel” (to the east of Hamburg), because the cooling liquid inflamed. In the early forenoon also the atomic power plant “Brunsbüttel” was shut down, because of a short-circuit.
The two reactors are offline (automatically). Officially no one was hurt.
According to Greenpeace the fire also could have made it’s way into the reactor itself.
Brunsbüttel is the biggest boiling water reactor in the world. View Wikimapia map & map 2
