Don’t panic just yet. The amount of information is scarce and from the first comments it sounds like it’s all under control.
Update: BBC also reports now. So there it looks more like it’s a preliminary warning that something worse might follow.
Update #2: It seems everything is under control and it was just to warn in the case something happens. But an EU-wide alert is obviously unusual, given how big the EU is and that “only” cooling water was supposed to have leaked. More info (deutsch).
