问题 Where did the explosion happen in France?
  
An explosion at a nuclear waste processing plant in southern France has left one person dead and four others injured — one seriously. The French nuclear authority says the blast was contained within an oven, and there is no leak of radioactive material. The plant, which lies about 25 miles north of Avignon, is not involved in electricity production and has no nuclear reactors.
    The explosion occurred at 11:45 a.m. local time. The facility’s emergency plan went into operation immediately. A siren warned people in the neighboring town, employees were not allowed to leave the site and officials began testing the area for radioactivity.
    Not long after the explosion, the French Nuclear Safety Authority declared the emergency over and the incident closed.
    France gets 80 percent of its electricity from nuclear power and is the most nuclear-dependent nation on Earth. (10) After the accident in Japan, French President Nicolas Sarkozy ordered stress tests for all 58 French nuclear reactors. Those tests are still underway. But Sarkozy insists the French nuclear energy industry is the best in the world.
