explosion of a nuclear power plant?

Chernobyl and Three Mile Island

Neither were nuclear explosions. In fact if you would take the time
to check three Mile Island was a leak.


Well that's true. But the Question was, (see above)
There was a hydrogen explosion at TMI.
There was actually a third incident, but I don't remember the name of it.


Hydrogen explosion can occur in any plant that works with metals. When I
was working at a chemical plant in Cincinnati we put the top of a large
reactor on the roof with a hydrogen explosion.

Hydrogen explosion can occur in any situation where there is
electricity. The battery on your car, whether it is a hybrid or
traditional, can have a hydrogen explosion.

I suspect in the proper situation where the gas was contained and
concentrated, the corrosion in your boat could cause a hydrogen explosion.
