Love canal had nothing to do with nuclear, it was an old abandoned chemical waste dump for a nearby chemical company that had gone out of business several years earlier. A developer bought the land without properly checking on easements and built and sold houses there. The people living there started getting poisoned by small waste leaks where the dump had not been fully properly sealed. However easements should have prevented such construction in the first place.
