The problem with nuclear oopsies is that, even if small, they last a

Pretty good, actually. Wildlife is at levels higher than ever before in
the area, plants are thriving, and in general it's recovered quite well.
Actually, wildlife is doing better there than before Chernobyl, since us
radiation-paranoid humans won't go near it, and we leave them alone.
Of course, Chernobyl would have been impossible in any Western nuclear
reactor designs (and indeed, in any modern design anywhere in the world).
If the engineers running Chernobyl hadn't TURNED OFF THE SAFETY SYSTEMS
and then effectively tried to test how the reactor handled extremely
UNSTABLE (read: likely to blow up) scenarios, Chernobyl would never have
been possible.
Chernobyl effectively wasn't an accident -- it was accidental sabotage by
people who should have known better.
