The worst ever nuclear power accident occurred at Chernobyl in the Ukraine in 1986, when most of an operating reactor was spread around the surrounding countryside and a plume of gaseous activity reached many other European countries. However this was one of a kind, fortunately, nothing similar has ever happened elsewhere, and the PWR and BWR units used in the US and most of the world have been very safe and reliable. Nothing similar could happen unless there was a major disruptive failure of a pressure vessel, and this is judged to be an incredible accident, taking the level of incredibility at once in a million years, per reactor.

Would you feel safe living within 5 miles of a nuclear power plant Why or why not?
No. If there is a disaster in a nuclear plant - and those DO happen now and then - this can affect populations hundreds, or even thousands, of kilometers from the power plant.

No.It is usually Nuclear Power plants or Bombs. But a Nuclear Disaster is NEVER natural.
Mitigation strategies for nuclear disaster?
We can mitigate nuclear disaster because it is not harmful at all.
What does nuclear disaster mean?
it means that either a nuclear rocket or a nuclear lab has exploded letting out nuclear waste and radiation which means the city would have to be evacuated until they are out of the nuclear radation zone.
