Reported Russian shelling of Europe's largest nuclear plant has led to fear of a possible radiation leak in the area. Andriy Tuz, a spokesperson for the Zaporizhzhia plant in the city of Enerhodar in southeastern Ukraine sent word to Ukrainian television reporters that shells were falling directly on the plant, setting fire to one of the facility's six reactors, according to AP News.
According to a government official contributing to the AP News report, "elevated levels of radiation were detected near the plant, which provides about 25% of Ukraine's power generation."
