Toxic sludge or Toxic Waste (There is no known way to safely dispose of this waste. Currently the waste is stored in underground bunkers-the waste just keeps increasing)
Nuclear Meltdowns - Most recently the Fukushima nuclear plant in Japan, which has not reached a full meltdown but is releasing nuclear radiation into the air and surrounding communities.
Other nuclear disasters include Three Mile Island and Chernobyl
In all the situations above, once the protective shell surrounding the reactor is broken open, there is no planned way to close it back up and prevent the release of radioactive material into the environment.
Chernobyl employees (Heros) flew over the reactor and dumped bags of sand on to the reactor. Eventually they built another cement enclosure around the reactor, unfortunately all the people who participated in the fix died from radiation poisoning or cancer.
