A nuclear disaster would be the melt down of a nuclear power plant, possibly resulting in an explosion.
A melt down is exactly what it sounds like it means, when a critical component of the reactor literaly melts, buckles or bends from the strain and heat, and fires are usually started as a result. This can cause other structural failures, which can ultimately lead to either complete structural failure or, in a worst case scenario, if the safety backups fail to trigger, the loss of control of the reactor, which may lead to the reactor exploding.
