Two killed in fire at Indian nuclear center

Two junior scientists have been burnt to death in a fire at an Indian nuclear research facility located on the outskirts of Mumbai.

A spokesman for the Bhabha Atomic Research Center said on Tuesday that the fire was contained after 45 minutes and that the accident had not led to any leakage of radiation.

The exact cause of the fire, which took place about a kilometer away from a nuclear reactor, has not yet been determined.

Police are currently investigating the incident, which occurred at India's main nuclear research facility.

The facility has a number of nuclear reactors and the research involves both nuclear weapons and civilian nuclear energy applications.
