A tunnel collapsed Tuesday at a nuclear waste storage site being built in France, killing one worker and injuring another, according to local authorities.
Reuters reported the incident occurred while crews were taking measurements at the front of a 500-meter-deep tunnel at the site in Bure, a commune in northeastern France. French nuclear waste agency Andra is leading the €25 billion effort to build a deep geological storage facility, which would house the country’s most dangerous radioactive waste for thousands of years.
