I'm talking about the failure mode of a nuclear plant exploding.
Windmills and solar farms can be dismantled and moved. Nuclear plants, once a catastrophic failure happens, infect all the land around them for many miles and there is ~nothing you an do about it. See: Chernobyl.
That said, this is extremely unlikely given everything we know now and how technology has progressed. But the 'uninhabitable wasteland' is the failure mode people are worried about.
