Fire at nuclear research center: several injured
Two people have been injured in a fire at a nuclear research center in Poland.
The fire at the National Center for Nuclear Research in Otwock near Warsaw has now been extinguished and there is no danger from radioactive radiation, a spokesman for the local fire department told TVN24. The fire broke out in an administrative building, a spokeswoman for the research center told the news agency PAP.
As this building is located far away from the research reactor, it was not endangered by the fire. According to the fire department, 32 people were evacuated from the administration building to safety. Two of them were taken to hospital with burns to their faces and hands.
The country's only nuclear research reactor
The National Center for Nuclear Research is one of the largest research institutes in Poland and has the country's only nuclear research reactor. Poland does not yet have any nuclear power plants to generate energy. However, the country is planning to go nuclear on a large scale. Construction of the first reactor unit in Slajszewo, north-west of Gdansk, is due to begin by 2026 at the latest. The nuclear power plant is scheduled to go online in 2033.
