No one can deny that there might be the possibility of an accident, even if we follow the safety regulations every day. Because of that, we have to prepare for accidents by making sure that there is a plan for all possible situations and conditions. To keep from accidents like Chernobyl from ever happening again, it is important for nuclear power plants to have a good design. The overall concept has to be well thought out.
Then you have to work out all possible things that could fail, and how different materials behave in different conditions in the plant. When you install a safety system to prevent one thing, you also have to make sure that that safety system doesn't make it likelier for something else to go wrong. It is also very important that you find out what happens and could happen when the plant is under stress. Also to be taken into account, is what happens to the plant when it is exposed to different natural disasters.
As well as the design of the plant, the construction of the plant is also very important. To make sure the plant is actually built to the required specification, and that the correct materials are used, and the required techniques are used. The operators who work at the plant must also be well trained and supervised, and have the correct operating manuals, and have had a lot of training in what to do in unusual conditions. Its important for operators to not be too confident. Nuclear power plants must also have multiple systems, so if one fails; the other can back it up.

How serious have nuclear reactor accidents been?
Between 1945 and 1987, there were 285 nuclear reactor accidents, injuring over 1,550 people and killing 64.
What are the accidents during the nuclear reactor?
Thankfully there haven't been many nuclear accidents, however when they do happen they can be severe the worst nuclear accident/disaster was the explosion of reactor No.4 at the Chernobyl Nuclear power plant in 1986 on April the 26th.
Have there been accidents at nuclear power plants?
Yes, there have been accidents at nuclear power plants, with the most well-known being the Chernobyl nuclear disaster in 1986 and the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster in 2011. These accidents have led to significant environmental and health consequences in the affected regions.
Disaster that starts with N?
Nuclear power accidents are a disaster. The 1986 nuclear accident at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant in Ukraine was a catastrophic accident.

How many nuclear accidents have there been?
There have been numerous nuclear accidents globally, with varying degrees of severity. Some well-known accidents include the Chernobyl disaster in 1986, the Fukushima disaster in 2011, and the Three Mile Island accident in 1979. Additionally, there have been several lesser-known incidents at nuclear facilities around the world.
Is nuclear power plant as dangerous as nuclear weapons?
Nuclear power plants are designed with safety features to prevent accidents and limit the release of radiation. While accidents can still occur, the risk of a catastrophic event is much lower than with nuclear weapons, which are intentionally designed to cause destruction on a large scale.
What are Controlled nuclear chain reactions?
Those reactions that take place in functioning nuclear reactors (i.e not Chernobyl or Fukushima when the accidents happened).
Does nuclear energy affect neighbouring countries?
No, excepting of course some important accidents.
