| Fire breaks out near British nuke facility |
| Britain's nuclear weapons center says nearby homes were evacuated after a fire at the base, but insisted there was no danger to the public.
Firefighters were called to the Atomic Weapons Establishment in Aldermaston, Berkshire, west of London, late on Tuesday to tackle a blaze.
A spokesman for the facility, speaking on condition of anonymity in line with policy, said Wednesday a 600-meter (650-yard) cordon was set up around the building, but there were "no radiological implications."
He says the fire had broken out in a non-nuclear explosives area of the 750-acre (300-hectare) site.
