Nuclear Disaster

Introduction
A nuclear disaster refers to an event involving the release
of radioactive materials from a nuclear power plant,
nuclear weapon, or any other nuclear facility that leads to
significant environmental, health, and safety consequences

Chernobyl disaster in 1986 in Ukraine

The Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster in 2011 in Japan

Types of disaster
1) Meltdown:
severe overheating of the reactor core, resulting in the melting of
nuclear fuel rods.

2)Radioactive material transportation accidents:

Accidents involving the transportation of nuclear waste or spent
fuel can lead to the release of radioactive substances

3)Nuclear weapon detonation:

Nuclear weapons produce powerful explosions and release vast
amounts of energy and radiation
Causes of disaster
1) Human error:
Mistakes made by operators, engineers, or maintenance personnel
can lead to nuclear accidents.

2) Technical failures:
Mechanical or electrical failures in nuclear power plants can
trigger accidents.

3) Design flaws:
Poorly designed reactors or inadequate safety features can
increase the risk of nuclear accidents.

4)Lack of regulatory oversight:

Insufficient regulatory oversight or weak enforcement of safety
regulations
