Who is responsible for the accident causing the explosion nuclear event at Chernobyl?
The crew of the power station was doing a test and one of the cooling pumps shut down too quickly causing the reactor to overheat and (with the building of pressure in the reactor) exploded. This cause massive amounts of radioactive materials to be launched into the atmosphere. Pripyat, a city near the reactor, had a population of 50,000 people, all of whom were evacuated to a town 30 km away.

When a nuclear power accident occurs what happens?
That would vary with reactor design, where the original problem occurred, operator training and response to the problem, and many other variables. An accident can vary from a tiny release of radioactive gasses that is stopped immediately, through steam ejection of a fuel rod whch impales a single worker onto the ceiling, through a massive steam explosion followed by a graphite fire (all three of these have happened), to a worst case complete core meltdown that melts down to the water table causing massive contamination of drinking water for hundreds of miles (this has not happened).

What disaster happened in chernobyl Ukraine?
On the 26th of April, 1986 there was a nuclear accident at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant in Ukraine.The exact time of the accident was recorded as 1:23:44am when a power surge caused a steam explosion which significantly damaged reactor number four. This initial damage caused a second explosion which had two potential causes:1. The ignition of a mixture of hydrogen gas and air2. A criticality incident or run away fission eventCurrent evidence suggests that the latter event occured which ultimately destroyed the roof of the reactor causing the release of radioactive material into the environment.

I believe whomever caused the accident is at fault, whether their car was damaged or not. * The evidence compiled in the accident investigation will determine the responsible party.

This does not necessarily mean that the driver of said vehicle is the one responsible for the accident. It is quite possible that the driver of the vehicle that was not damaged will be the one determined to be responsible for causing the accident.

If a person who sues you was the person responsible for the accident, they have little chance of winning the claim. But they have succeeded in scaring you, reducing the chance that you will sue them.
