There have only been 2 nuclear disasters which scored the maximum level 7 on the INES rating. Chernobyl and Fukushima. This video illustrates both events and explains which one was worse.
Chernobyl happened on 26 April 1986 and Fukushima was on 11 Mar 2011. These events had a profound impact on the nuclear industry worldwide.
At Chernobyl the RBMK type reactor blew up and spewed highly radioactive reactor fuel all around. Fukushima Daichi was a loss of cooling accident after a tsunami resulting in the melting down of 3 BWR boiling water reactors. Three buildings were blown up but no uranium fuel escaped. This remained inside the containment structure which were intact.
The disasters are illustrated and described with 3d animations.
The video covers:
Fallout. Deaths from radiation illness and cancer. Size of exclusion zones. Evacuated ghost towns. The China Syndrome or earth melt. The reactor enclosures added after. The cultural and political environment in which these were able to happen. Radiation in the Pacific Ocean. Contaminated water tanks. The clean-up. Recent political events and a potential nuclear revival?
