No, not uninhabitable. But there have been orders of magnitude more people killed in dam disasters than nuclear plant meltdowns. I haven't done the math, but I would suspect this is true even adjusting for the popularity of dams. Here's the worst dam disaster on record: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Banqiao_Dam https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Banqiao_Dam There are some parallels with Fukushima; in general most of the dam disasters you can find quickly are kicked off or exacerbated by concurrent natural disasters and/or poor maintenance. I'll grant you that as a force multiplier for disaster, nuclear has more potential than e.g. hydroelectric. But both can be deadly: you can die of thyroid cancer or by drowning, either way, you're dead; your home could be uninhabitable or just washed away, either way, you're homeless.
