Chernobyl is an extreme outlier. The reactors were outdated even at the time, they were simulating blackouts for a safety test, the decent personnel's shifts ended in the middle of one of the tests, the replacement personnel were undertrained, the power went too low, the replacements didn’t properly restore power, the operating instructions were incomplete, they kept doing the tests despite that, and by the end the reactor was in such an unstable state that shutting the reactor down is what caused it to go supercritical.
It takes a special kind of incompetence to cause a Chernobyl Disaster.
