Could Chernobyl happen in the US?
Not in the same way as in Chernobyl, because US nuclear plants are much more modern and much better safeguarded against mishaps and human stupidity (which played a major part there) when a crisis occurs than the at the time already old-fashioned Chernobyl plant. But a 100% guarantee never exists, for instance in the case of a Tsunami combined with a heavy earthquake, although normally these risks would be considered before choosing the building site. But a very serious malfunction did once occur in a US nuclear plant, the Three Mile Island plant, in 1979.
