Best Answer

The danger in a nuclear plant meltdown is that failure of the containment system may follow the meltdown, and this will allow highly radioactive material out into the environment. Let loose, this material can injure or kill exposed individuals, and it can render large areas of land uninhabitable for long periods of time.
