Did it not explode? (I know nothing about this subject beyond what I have learned from cultural osmosis)
Nuclear explosion means an explosion due to chain reaction in fissile material (and thermonuclear explosions also can get shortened to just nuclear explosion). Chernobyl had a hydrogen explosion, due to hydrogen build-up, caused by steam-zirconium reaction, which was caused by runaway overheating, caused by combination of design flaws and personnel mistakes.
