Fukushima? It was 13 years ago, not that long. It didn’t strait up explode like a nuclear bomb, and neither did Chernobyl, but still;

fukushima was a BWR design, put on the coast of a place known for having tsunamis, and wasn't properly equipped with emergency generators (they flooded, oopsies) which they couldn't get to, in order to service the reactor, due to the roads being fucking yeeted.

Literally any other plant on earth is going to have a better outcome.
