The city is quite close to the channel and therefore to the UK. They are currently building a third reactor on the site.
According to the articles I read, there has been a fire but no radiation exposure (as for the last point, isn't that what they always say?)

Right now, radmon sites don't show any indication. But there is no station nearby, so we might have to wait a bit.
