A nuclear disaster - actually even when not a disaster - does not end with the destruction of the reactor. It continues for a few centuries afterwards. It does not stop at the site. It keeps spreading wider and wider. It concentrates it self in the food chain (read about strontium, cesium, cobalt).
Just thinking aloud. I have always wondered why they have not build deep underground reactors so that any unfortunate accident can be contained under the soil rather than getting exposed in the air to the people. Life can go on as usual on the top without displacing people.
