Energoatom, Ukraine's state-run nuclear power company, accused Russian forces on Thursday of targeting a storage area for "radiation sources," and shelling a fire department nearby the plant. "If something happens with the power plant, some accident ... We are 7 kilometers from the nuclear power plant across the river!
