It can happen if the reactor fuel rods overheat, and that can happen if they are not adequately cooled after the reactor is shutdown
The only nuclear reactor meltdown in the US occurred at Three Mile Island in Pennsylvania in 1979. It was a partial meltdown caused by a combination of equipment failure and human error.
The nuclear meltdown at Three Mile Island occurred in Middletown, Pennsylvania, United States on March 28, 1979. It was the most serious accident in the history of the American commercial nuclear power generating industry.
The first controlled nuclear reaction took place in 1942 at the University of Chicago. The first nuclear meltdown occurred at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant in 1986, which is 44 years later.
During the Chernobyl nuclear power plant meltdown, temperatures reached up to 4000 degrees Celsius in the reactor core due to the uncontrolled nuclear chain reaction.
A nuclear meltdown is a severe nuclear reactor accident that results in the core of the reactor overheating, causing the nuclear fuel to melt. This can lead to the release of radioactive materials into the environment, posing serious health and environmental risks. Chernobyl and Fukushima are examples of nuclear meltdowns that have occurred in the past.

coz if nuclear meltdown it can explode
None ever recorded but I may happen soon. We'll see >:)
a nuclear reactor had a nuclear meltdown
Under the worst possible conditions, a meltdown can occur in a nuclear submarine. It is an event of low probability, however.

Mercury Meltdown happened in 2006.
