A meltdown is both good and bad:
- Good reactor design uses the meltdown to disassemble the fuel into a subcritical mass, causing the reactor to automatically shutdown.
- Bad reactor design can allow the fuel to enter places it should not go, possibly causing steam explosions, contamination outside the reactor containment, etc.

The coolant in a nuclear reactor literally melts, and the reaction goes out of control. The entire plant can melt, and radiation leaks throughout the world. See Chernobyl for details.
