What are the accidents during the nuclear reactor?

Thankfully there haven't been many nuclear accidents, however when they do happen they can be severe the worst nuclear accident/disaster was the explosion of reactor No.4 at the Chernobyl Nuclear power plant in 1986 on April the 26th.


Have there been accidents at nuclear power plants?

Yes, there have been accidents at nuclear power plants, with the most well-known being the Chernobyl nuclear disaster in 1986 and the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster in 2011. These accidents have led to significant environmental and health consequences in the affected regions.


Has nuclear power been successfully used in the past?

Yes, nuclear power has been successfully used in the past. It has provided a significant amount of electricity in many countries around the world and has been a reliable source of energy. However, there have been some accidents, like the Chernobyl and Fukushima disasters, that have raised concerns about safety and environmental impact.


What caused many Americans to worry about nuclear power?

The incident at Three Mile Island.


Why shouldn't nuclear energy be used?

The argument against nuclear energy is that radiation is very dangerous and we have already had a series of huge catastrophes caused by radiation leaks from nuclear power plants, particularly the Chernobyl accident and the Fukushima tsunami; there was also a less serious but still disturbing incident at Three Mile Island. It is difficult at this point to claim that nuclear power is perfectly safe and that there will be no more accidents, after there have been so many. Still, every form of power generation has its advantages and disadvantages. I personally am not convinced that nuclear power shouldn't be used. But clearly, if we are going to use it, we have to be very careful about it.

How many nuclear accidents have there been across the world?

There have been several significant nuclear accidents globally, with the most notable being the Chernobyl disaster in 1986 and the Fukushima Daiichi incident in 2011. While there are varying definitions of what constitutes a nuclear accident, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has classified over 30 major incidents since the advent of nuclear power. Additionally, there have been numerous lesser incidents and near-misses. Overall, the total number of reported nuclear accidents varies depending on the criteria used for classification.


How many deaths in the us at nuclear power plants?

None due to radiation, but there must have been a few due to normal industrial accidents.


Which is more dangerous nuclear power or coal and oil?

Presumably you mean nuclear power plants, not nuclear weapons. Most people would I think say nuclear power is more dangerous, but just look at the figures. The worst accident ever was at Chernobyl and I think about 50 people lost their lives directly, though more may get cancer eventually. Many people get cancer without nuclear power of course. But just think about how many coal miners have been killed in mining accidents, and how many have been killed in accidents on oil rigs, especially off-shore ones. This will put it in perspective. In a normal year, no-one is killed in nuclear plants due to nuclear accidents, though there are bound to be some normal type industrial accidents, and in fact as far as I know there has never been a death in a US nuclear plant due to a nuclear cause.
