There's something that always wonders me abouth these kind of disasters.
You have people saying
"we shouldn't be making more nuclear plants, they're all too dangerous and can explode!"
And then you have others who say something in the lines of
"But they get the cleanest energy" or "you can't depend on solar energy for everything"
I think the question almost nobody is asking is what will happen to this if it goes unmantained and workers leave the plant unattended, for example, a disease striking the region, economic collapse or a civil war. What containment do any goverment have for that kind of situation, it's not like you can put someone in there and push some random buttons or something to keep the entire thing from melting...
