To carry out a system analysis, the main fac-tors were identified: the number of accidents and incidents, the date, the name of the nuclear power plant where the emergency events occurred. Emergency situations are divided into accidents and incidents, the main causes of emergency situations are identified, the consequences of emer-gency situations are indicated. For statistical analysis, the percentage of ac-cidents and incidents was determined, the number of accidents at nuclear power plants was shown, the causes were indicated, and the consequences of emergency events at RBMK reactors were noted.
