radiological tests after the incident Monday in Drancy, and found no
leaks.
The

centimeters (20 inches) off the rails, and an investigation will be
carried out. The official was not authorized to be publicly named
according to fire service policy.

the nuclear and chemical trains that pass regularly through his town.
