fukushima was entirely a skill issue, just don't
TMI was entirely a skill issue, and didn't even release any significant radiation as far as we can tell. Didn't even breakthrough the PCV, so this probably shouldn't even be on the list.
chernobyl was a bad design, and a skill issue, plus a few other skill issues.
the runit dome was from atomic bomb testing right? Not even real nuclear power, it may have been a fission bomb, but i'm not looking into it far enough. Weird that you don't mention nagasaki or hiroshima in that case.
the hanford site, i'm not familiar with, but im guessing this is a development plant? And probably just procedural skill issues? There have been a number of smaller accidents, most of which are due to people being stupid.
