The only ones I know about are Chernobyl (MAJOR) and Three Mile Island Pa, which was a commercial write off but little risk to population.

Could add Windscale in 1957 where a graphite air cooled pile caught fire, but that was not a power plant, it was similar to the old Hanford piles in the US, for plutonium production
