A British train carrying spent nuclear fuel flasks has derailed as it arrived at a power station.
British police say no one was injured in the incident outside the Torness power station near Dunbar, East Lothian.
The accident happened around 9.45 a.m. when two of the train's carriages derailed.
One of them was carrying an empty nuclear flask, while the other had no load. The train was carrying three empty flasks in total.
The train had been travelling at 5mph when the derailment happened and none of the flasks were damaged, said Ms Janine Claber, spokeswoman for freight company Direct Rail Services, a subsidiary of British Nuclear Fuels.
The incident took place adjacent to the east coast main line while the train was reversing at a railhead but the derailed carriages remained upright and British Transport Police said disruption to passenger services was unlikely.
Emergency services along with Railtrack and DRS personnel are attending the scene.
