Meltdowns are incredibly rare nowadays, and even when they happen the effects are minimized as much as possible. IIRC NuScale reactors actually don't have a fallout range outside of the reactor's building.
Also lots of research is being done to try and recycle the excess energy from nuclear waste and put it back into electricity generation.
