Answer 1

The worst-case scenario at a nuclear power plant occurred at Chernobyl.

Answer 2

The answer is: 2. Chernobyl

In 1986, a nuclear reactor was exploded in the city of Chernobyl (located north of Kiev, Ukraine).

The largest damage is not caused by the explosion itself. The explosion caused a nuclear leakage that make the whole city become contaminated. It is predicted that the contamination would stay above dangerous level until 2040.
