Home Page | Lists of nuclear disasters and radioactive incidents

These are lists of nuclear disasters and radioactive incidents.

Main lists

  • The Kashiwazaki-Kariwa Nuclear Power Plant, in Niigata Prefecture, Japan, the world's largest single nuclear power station, was completely shut down for 21 months following the 2007 Chūetsu offshore earthquake.
  • Erosion of the 150-millimetre-thick (5.9 in) carbon steel reactor head at Davis-Besse Nuclear Power Plant, in Oak Harbor, Ohio, USA, in 2002, caused by a persistent leak of borated water
  • The Hanford Site, in Benton County, Washington, USA, represents two-thirds of America's high-level radioactive waste by volume. Nuclear reactors line the riverbank at the Hanford Site along the Columbia River in January 1960.
  • This image of the core from the SL-1 disaster, Idaho Falls, Idaho, United States, served as a reminder of the necessity for proper reactor practice and safeguards.
  • The 18,000 km2 expanse of the Semipalatinsk Test Site (indicated in red), in present-day Kazakhstan, covers an area the size of Wales.
