The only incident which might have become a disaster was the Three Mile Island one in 1979. This caused a partial meltdown of the core, and was certainly a commercial disaster, though the effect to the public was minor, if anything.

∙ 13y agolook up nuclear meltdown on wiki and it will tell everything including complet deffinitions to partal and full meltdowns different types of reactors a full list of every partal and complete meltdown in the world the bigest one being in ukrain its very interesting chranoble sorry for the bad spelling sent from my phone

What is a necular power plant?
A nuclear power plant is a plant [not a plant that you see in gardens or forests..] that holds mounds of electricity and power. If it ever leaks or explodes, gases can reach up from Conneticut to approximatley, Maine [as an example]. If people inhale gases from an exlosion or leak from power plants, it may cause cancer, possibly death [depending on how bad the power plant was exposed].
How many cooling towers does the Chernobyl nuclear power plant have?
I don't see any in this view. I guess it used water from a river for cooling. It is all shutdown now, so the cooling towers if they ever existed could have been demolished, but I don't remember seeing any in early photos at the time of the disaster.
What is chernobyl known for?
chernobyl is known for the massive nuclear disaster in the year 1986 on the 26 April at 03:23:44 a.m. utc+3 chernobyl is wat killed most ppl today and is now probalby still there
Did a nuclear plant ever exploded in the US?
No, but the reactor at Three Mile Island in Pennsylvania had a near melt-down. Nuclear plants don't explore. They have meltdowns.
Nuclear power without Uranium?
You are probably thinking of nuclear fusion which will use deuterium and tritium (both isotopes of hydrogen) if it can ever be made a practical technology
What is the Date of the first nuclear power plant?
The first nuclear power plant ever built is in 1954
What is Chernobyl the site of?
Chernobyl was the site of a nuclear power plant accident in 1986. According to Wiki, it was the worst disaster ever (and I seem to remember that being discussed that when it happened) and the only "level 7" disaster ever, whatever that means.
Why are people more worried about nuclear power stations than gas or coal?
Have you ever heard of the Chernobyl power plant? A coal fired plant can't produce a disaster of that magnitude, and people worry about the potential consequences.
Where is the first nuclear pawer plan?
The first nuclear power plant ever built was the Obninsk Nuclear Power Plant. Located in Obninsk, this plant is situated south of Moscow and was operational starting on June 1, 1954.
What was the name of the Soviet nuclear power plant that exploded and is considered to be the greatest nuclear disaster ever?
Chernobyl. And while it IS regarded as the worst nuclear disaster, in terms of long-term consequences, we are actually begining to discover that many of the supposedly radiation-caused illnesses are actually the result of an extremely high level of impurities, especially Lead in the water supply, and not actually the result of radiation poisoning as originally suspected. But, the jury is not in just yet.
How reliable is the nuclear as a form of energy?
Once the nuclear power plant has been built and put into service, nuclear power is very reliable, it is only dependent on how reliable the plant's equipment is, things like pumps, instruments, turbines, and so on. The reactor itself hardly ever fails.
Was Chernobyl a German head of state?
I cannot find any evidence that there was ever a German head of state by that name. It's a Ukrainian word (for a plant, the one that's usually called "mugwort" in English), making it fairly unlikely that a high German official would have such a name.Chernobyl is most famously the name of a city near the worst nuclear power plant disaster ever (at least so far). Chernobyl (both the city and the power plant) are in northern Ukraine, near the border with Belarus. The accident happened in 1986, and access to Chernobyl (again, both the city and the former power plant, but especially the plant itself) are still restricted and limited for health and safety reasons. It's estimated that it may be 20,000 years before radiation in the area drops back down to normal "safe" background levels.
What were previous nuclear disasters in Pakistan?
Pakistan never ever faced any nuclear disaster. May Allah protect out country from such calamities.

What is Reactor number four?
The #4 reactor is the reactor at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant (Pripyat, Ukraine) that exploded on April 26, 1986. It is still the worst nuclear accident to ever take place anywhere.
How many cooling towers does the Chernobyl nuclear power plant have?
I don't see any in this view. I guess it used water from a river for cooling. It is all shutdown now, so the cooling towers if they ever existed could have been demolished, but I don't remember seeing any in early photos at the time of the disaster.
