It's not a realistic risk.
Chernobyl was absolute worse case. A massive reactor, with no containment structure (it was essentially in a shed), with a flammable solid state moderator, and no passive cooling. Yet, Europe is not uninhabitable today, infact the above-natural-background radiation in Europe is almost entirely coming from burning fossil fuels, not from Chernobyl.
