That would depend on the type of facility it is, the location and who is operating the facility.
Modern reactors have very little chance of exploding, but the chance for radiation to leak is still present. Contamination of water is certainly a possible situation too.
The main issue that would worry me is the waste products for a facility. Where and how they can be safely stored is a huge problem with the industry. Until the ability to permanently store high level waste. the possibility of lost radioactive material is present.

Why is a power plant an example of nuclear energy?
A power plant is an example of nuclear energy because it generates electricity through nuclear reactions, usually fission. The energy released from these reactions is harnessed to produce heat, which then drives turbines to generate electricity.
What are some of the negative impacts o f a nuclear power plant?
Radioactive waste, nuclear accident, public disapproval's
What is the difference between nuclear power plant and nuclear reactor?
It's really just a matter of degree, all reactors produce some power. Those used in a power plant will produce perhaps 3000 to 5000 Megawatts thermal. Low power reactors producing a few kilowatts are used for experiments, teaching in universities, and for producing radioisotopes by irradiating samples, but reactors in this sort of power level would not be harnessed to produce electricity, the heat produced if large enough would be removed and rejected to the atmosphere or to a water cooling circuit. This makes them simple to operate and to start and stop as required.
What are some negative aspects of nuclear power?
Well, these disadvantages may include nuclear waste, nuclear accidents such as Chernobyl and the more recent Fukushima event. The fuels themselves that are used to power the plant such as uranium are in low amounts. The sources provided have extra information if you need.
What are some disadvantges of nuclear power?
Some disadvantages of nuclear power include the risk of accidents leading to radiation leaks, the long-term storage of radioactive waste, the high costs of building and maintaining nuclear power plants, and concerns about nuclear proliferation and security risks.
Where is the location of the eskom thermal power plant?
If you mean the Eskom nuclear plant, this is at Koeberg, some 30km north of Capetown
What energy is lost from nuclear energy?
Some heat is lost in the vapour that rises from the power plant.
What are nuclear power cons?
Some common cons of nuclear power include the risk of accidents leading to radioactive leaks, the long-term storage and disposal of radioactive waste, and concerns about nuclear proliferation and the potential for nuclear weapons development. Additionally, nuclear power plants can be expensive to build and decommission.
