Explanation

Each nuclear accident is tied to its country and year of occurrence.

The Windscale fire occurred in the United Kingdom in 1957.

The Chernobyl disaster took place in Ukraine, then within the Soviet Union, in 1986.

The Three Mile Island accident happened in the United States in 1979.

The Fukushima Daiichi disaster struck Japan in 2011 after a tsunami.

Chernobyl and Fukushima are the two events rated at the highest level on the nuclear event scale.
