There are many ways a nuclear accident may occur, however most nuclear power plant accident occur due to problem in an reactor.
The Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant underwent a level 7 event - the worst accident so far. The plant, located in the Soviet Union near Pripyat in Ukraine lost its number four reactor on 26 April 1986. A link to the Wikipedia article on the accident is provided.
After the accident at the Three Mile Island nuclear reactor, the government conducted a thorough investigation to determine the cause of the accident and implemented stricter regulations for the nuclear industry to improve safety standards. It also led to increased public awareness about the potential risks of nuclear power and influenced the decision-making process for future nuclear projects.
The temperature required for nuclear fusion to occur is around 100 million degrees Celsius.
The most serious accident involving nuclear power plants worldwide was Chernobyl because it killed the most people, wiped out an entire city, and still affects people to this day due to the radiation.
The Three Mile Island nuclear accident in 1979, where a partial meltdown occurred at a nuclear power plant in Pennsylvania, sparked concern among Americans about the safety of nuclear power. The incident led to increased scrutiny of nuclear plants and raised questions about the potential risks associated with nuclear energy.
Tokaimura nuclear accident happened in 1997.
The term "Broken Arrow" is used to indicate a nuclear accident involving a nuclear weapon that does't pose the threat indicated. The term "excursion" (as in nuclear excursion) or "criticality accident" is applied to a nuclear reactor or nuclear material accident, respectively.
The Chernobyl nuclear accident.
Those most at risk in a nuclear energy accident are the workers at the nuclear facility itself.
Three major nuclear accidents; namely:Three Miles Islands nuclear accident, USA, March 1979Chernobyl nuclear accident, Ukraine (former Soviet Union), April 1986Fukushima nuclear accident, Japan, March 2011
Nuclear power accidents are a disaster. The 1986 nuclear accident at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant in Ukraine was a catastrophic accident.

An nuclear bomb is purposefully release to pulse out damage. A nuclear accident, on the other hand, is an accident when a nuclear source (usually referring to a nuclear plant) either blows up or leaks. Although it is normally weaker and less dangerous than a nuclear bomb, a big enough explosion or a serious enough nuclear meltdown can break that limit.
In 1999, there was a nuclear accident at the Tokaimura uranium processing facility in Japan, which exposed dozens of workers to high levels of radiation. This accident resulted from a criticality accident during the processing of nuclear fuel.
