A nuclear meltdown or incident involving nuclear material, even a small one, is always a real danger. At a place I once worked, there was a small experimental nuclear reactor that had a meltdown. As a result, radioactive fallout was spread through the air and through groundwater to contaminate a large surrounding area. The cases of cancer in the surrounding community is abnormally high, and a lot of former employees came up with an inordinate number of cases of a particular type of leukemia. It's not something to take lightly.
