How many reactors in Chernobyl melted down?
One reactor at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant melted down in the 1986 disaster.
How hot is the Chernobyl reactor today?
The Chernobyl reactor is not operational and has been encased in a cement sarcophagus since the 1986 disaster. The temperature inside the sarcophagus is monitored and is not at extreme levels; however, radiation levels are still high in the vicinity.
When did reactor number 4 explode?
Reactor number 4 at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant in Ukraine exploded on April 26, 1986.
In the 1980s a nuclear reactor exploded and burned near which town?
The nuclear reactor that exploded and burned in the 1980s was located near the town of Chernobyl in Ukraine. The Chernobyl disaster, which occurred in 1986, released a significant amount of radioactive material into the environment and is considered one of the worst nuclear accidents in history.
What was the difference about chernobyl and the integral fast reactor when they both lost coolant?
At Chernobyl there was a steam explosion which blew off the top of the reactor followed by a fire due to the graphite moderator burning in air, and a huge amount of radioactive material was discharged, including fission products from the fuel. I'm not sure which fast reactor you are referring to, but certainly the incident did not involve massive catastrophic failure of the reactor vessel, or it would have become a world incident as Chernobyl did.
When did Chernobyl close?
The Chernobyl Reactor is still active.
How much did the Chernobyl reactor lid weigh when it was in place?
The Chernobyl reactor lid weighed about 1,000 tons when it was in place.
Where was chernobyl?
Chernobyl started from an inherently unstable design, it's considered a breeder reactor, really good at making weapons grade plutonium but functionally unstable. The actual incident occurred during testing of the reactor to see how far it could be pushed.

How deep into the earth has the Chernobyl reactor melted in?
The Chernobyl reactor core melted down into the concrete base of the reactor building, but did not penetrate through it and enter the ground below. The molten core material is now contained within a structure called the "sarcophagus" to prevent further release of radioactive materials.
