The fallout of Ivy Mike contained two new elements which were then named einsteinium and fermium.

Element number 99, later named Einsteinium, was discovered in the debris from the first hydrogen bomb explosion in 1952. Only a tiny number of atoms were detected, formed from the decay of neutron-bombarded californium nuclei.

Einsteinium was discovered in the debris of 'Mike's code name for the first thermonuclear explosion witch took place on Eniwetok's Pacific atoll's 1 November 1952...'Mike' was the precursor to the development of a thermonuclear weapon, the so-called hydrogen bomb. (THAT was dumb, but it was worth discovering element 99 between californium and fermium...)
A nuclear power station can not create a nuclear explosion. What CAN happen is that hydrogen could build up inside of the containment dome and if the build up becomes too intense, it can cause a hydrogen explosion, like the one in Japan recently. This explosion is dangerous only if you are close to it and are hit by the concussion or by the debris that is flying from the explosion. If this explosion is too large, it can damage the containment dome surrounding the reactor and this, in turn, releases some radioactive gases.
About 70% hydrogen, 28% helium, and the remainder is "trace" amounts of every other element. We believe that the universe was originally mostly hydrogen, with a little helium and a trace of lithium. Over the course of about 10 billion years, generations of stars formed from the hydrogen, fused the hydrogen into helium, and then blew themselves apart in titanic supernova explosions that created, in the instant of the explosion, every element heavier than lithium. Our solar system formed about 4.5 billion years ago, born from the hydrogen gas from space and the dust and debris from every star that lived and died before then.

It is found in the debris from a hydrogen bomb, or man-made in a lab. It can't be found in nature.
