Best Answer

If a nuclear reactor explodes, there can be radiation leakage in the atmosphere which could be dangerous for people. The Fall-out would not only damage the country that it is in but the whole world. The worst part is not the explosion but the Fall-out that comes after. This is really bad because The Radiative Fall-out never Goes away
