A power reactor meltdown would be a large scale disaster that could not be concealed without the closure of large areas of land, hundreds of square miles.
This assumes that the authorities would actually close down large areas and activate an exclusion zone and evacuate the population within the radius of the nuclear plant.
From previous examples such as Chernobyl (Swedish Power plant radiation detectors tripped out was when the Soviet authorities admitted an accident had occurred), Fukishima and Windscale etc, it took many weeks and months even to admit there was a serious problem (even after reactors exploded on the TV coverage). 'No problem here, nothing to see, move on' was the guiding principle used by the nuclear industry and on the whole worked quite admirably at duping the ignorant public.
There would be hundreds, perhaps thousands of witnesses to the accident. Could the government really silence every single one ?
As with the TMI accident (a partial meltdown) there was not outward signs that the reactor building had been damaged in any way, but there was a large release of radiation gas products, which was basically invisible, tasteless etc, just like
