"The plant is at risk of a nuclear accident," news agency Reuters quoted Alexei Likhachev, the director general of Russia's Rosatom state nuclear corporation, as telling state-run news agency Interfax. Both the warring countries have blamed each other over the attacks on the plant. The concerns have been sparked after the plant - located in southern Ukraine, just 500 km from Chernobyl (the site of the world's worst nuclear disaster in 1986) - was repeatedly shelled in the past few days. Russia on Monday said that the shelling of Ukraine's Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant posed a nuclear accident threat as it accused Kyiv of the attacks on Europe's largest nuclear power plant.
