Very unlikely.

Also neither were nuclear explosions:Chernobyl was a massive steam explosion in the cooling system, and Japan was a combination of steam explosions and maybe hydrogen/oxygen explosions. The nuclear releases in both cases were due to breaches of the containment by these explosions.

If they had been nuclear explosions many miles from the plants would have been leveled and that did not happen.

That would depend if the burst was over or under the ocean. If inland it might not have much effect.

What did the nuclear fallout from chernobyl do to ground and surface warter?

The nuclear fallout from Chernobyl contaminated ground and surface water with radioactive particles, leading to long-term environmental and health consequences. The contamination continues to affect the ecosystems in the region and poses risks to human health through the consumption of contaminated water and food sources. Efforts such as decontamination and monitoring are ongoing to manage the impact on water resources.


How did the Chernobyl nuclear disaster affect other countries?

The Chernobyl nuclear disaster, which occurred in 1986, had significant cross-border effects, particularly in Europe. Radioactive fallout spread to various countries, with elevated radiation levels detected in nations such as Sweden, Finland, and beyond, prompting widespread health and environmental concerns. Many countries implemented stricter nuclear safety regulations and enhanced emergency preparedness measures in response to the disaster. Additionally, the event heightened public awareness and opposition to nuclear energy, influencing energy policies in several nations.

What does nuclear energy do to your environment?

In the vast majority of nuclear plants there is no effect whatever apart from the need for cooling water. Only in rare disasters like Chernobyl (1986, Ukraine) is there significant release of radioactivity. This can affect people in the neighbourhood directly, or it can through spreading out affect a wide area making food produced in that area contaminated. This has never happened in the US or western Europe.

How did the chernobyl affect the water?

The Chernobyl nuclear disaster contaminated the water in the region with radioactive materials, such as cesium-137 and strontium-90. These radioactive elements entered rivers and groundwater, leading to long-term pollution and health concerns for those exposed to the contaminated water. Efforts have been made to monitor and clean up the affected water sources since the disaster.
