The worst nuclear disaster in history (Chernobyl) a disaster which took a specific reactor class, driven into a specifically unstable configuration, and built without specific safeguards, didn't make an area the size of Denmark uninhabitable in Ukraine.

A Chernobyl-like prompt criticality accident in a fast reactor could be an actual honest-to-god nuclear explosion, not a piddly pathetic steam explosion like at Chernobyl.
