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.

It was also due to several flaws in the design of the reactor core known as "RBMK" The Soviets told all the power plant workers that it was an extremely strong and safe reactor core and that there was next to no danger because the core design was flawless and could not melt down.

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).

The stereo will begin to heat up thus causing a small potential fire in the back on the stereo unit. It will then begin to travel down the fuel lines and into the engine, where an explosion will promptly occur. This may cause death to near-by lifeforms.
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.

Who is responsible when there is a three car accident and the 3rd car only damages the 2nd car?
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. To determine who is at fault in a vehicle accident investigators use a method referred to as "chain of causation" and begin the investigation with the vehicle that was last in motion. 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.

What happens if you are sued from the person who hit you in a car accident. The person you hit was ticketed for the accident at the time.?
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. It looks like you must counter-claim, and say that you are waiting for the outcome of the court-case on the ticket for the accident. If they are found guilty of causing the accident, no court will hold you responsible for their damages.
