There have been incidents of nuclear reactors melting down which is why using nuclear is a touchy subject. Radiation can stay present for hundreds of years so that is one issue with using nuclear energy.

Google Three Mile Island! Three Mile Island in Pennsylvania was a nuclear power plant that experienced a partial reactor meltdown that leaked radiation back in the late 1970s.

It still remains the most significant accident in U.S. commercial nuclear power plant history. It cost $1B and nearly 20 years to clean up.
