French authorities on Monday said a train carrying nuclear waste had derailed in a Paris suburb, but that no leaks, injuries or other problems were reported, reports FRANCE 24.
An official with the national fire service said experts carried out radiological tests after the incident in Drancy, and found no leaks.
The official said the train was travelling slowly and went about 50 centimetres off the rails, and an investigation will be carried out.
The official was not authorised to be publicly named, according to fire service policy.
