The disaster occurred on March 11, 2011. The main reason was an earthquake and tsunami. The tsunami was more than double the capacity of the power plant's diesel engines. The battery also ran out. Excessive combustion of fuel in overheated engines caused hydrogen explosions, which damaged three buildings.

The disaster occurred in 1986 at the Chernobyl nuclear power station in the Soviet Union. It is said that there were four reactors in this power plant. They produce 1000 MW of electric power. The main cause of the devastation was a poorly planned experiment by the technicians there.

To this plan, they shut down the control system and the emergency defense system, and by the morning of April 26, 1986, they had lost control of the system. At the same time, there were several explosions and the resulting fireballs exploded large steel and concrete lids. Meanwhile, a fire in the graphite reactor core caused a large amount of radiation to be released into the air.
