Egypt reactor failed in April, says nuclear chief

None

Egypt's nuclear chief says there was a breakdown in the country's small Russian-built reactor last April but no radiation leaked out.

 

Mohammed el-Kulali, head of the Egyptian Nuclear Organization, told the independent daily al-Masry al-Youm Tuesday that the 2-megawatt research reactor failed and had to be shut down after a cooling pump broke. (AP)
