These are lists of nuclear disasters and radioactive incidents.

Main lists

TheKashiwazaki-Kariwa Nuclear Power Plant, inNiigata Prefecture, Japan, the world's largest single nuclear power station, was completely shut down for 21 months following the2007 Chūetsu offshore earthquake.^[1]
Erosion of the 150-millimetre-thick (5.9 in)carbon steel reactor head atDavis-Besse Nuclear Power Plant, inOak Harbor, Ohio, USA, in 2002, caused by a persistent leak of borated water
TheHanford Site, inBenton County, Washington, USA, represents two-thirds of America'shigh-level radioactive waste by volume. Nuclear reactors line the riverbank at the Hanford Site along theColumbia River in January 1960.
This image of the core from theSL-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 theSemipalatinsk Test Site (indicated in red), in present-day Kazakhstan, covers an areathe size of Wales.^[2]
