Fears of radiation leak from Zaporizhzhia plant come as Russia and Ukraine accuse each other of shelling complex and nearby areas
Concern about the potential for a radiation leak at Europe’s largest nuclear power plant is persisting as Ukrainian authorities said Russian forces fired on areas just across the river from the plant, and Russia claimed Ukrainian shelling hit a building where nuclear fuel is stored.
Authorities were distributing iodine tablets to residents who live near the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant in case of radiation exposure, which can cause health problems depending on the amount a person absorbs.
