Fukushima (Japan)

6 reactors 4 involved with accident, one empty on fuel (thats a lot)
Reactors 1,2,3,4 involed with accident
Reactors 5 and 6 located a bit far from reactors 1,2,3,4

Chernobyl Nuclear Power staition shares similarities with the Ignalina Nuclear Power Plant, which got closed in 2009 to prevent the Chernobyl accident from happening again

only 2 accidents recorded a 7 on the INES
only 1 accident recorded a 6 on the INES (Kyshtym disaster/ also Soviet Union!)
...so Level 7 accidents are more common than level 6 acidents...

Test gone wrong which caused the Chernobyl disaster
2011 Japan Earthquake and Tsnumai damged reators 1,2 and 3, explosion damaged reactor 4

Chernobyl currently decomissioning, maybe finnished? Started in 2016
Fukushima disaster cleanup currently happening, probably going to last 30-40 years

Pripyat completely abandoned, with a new city built (Slavutych) to replace Pripyat
People still inhabit the outskirts of Fukushima, with people still being forbidden to go near the Fukushim Nuclear plant
pictures of Pripyat looks cooler than pictures of Fukushima in my opinion
