Yes, any specific accident has specific circumstances. The next nuclear accident will too.
Powering the world with nuclear will require breeder reactors. A Chernobyl-like prompt criticality accident in a fast reactor could be an actual honest-to-god nuclear explosion, not a piddly pathetic steam explosion like at Chernobyl.
