Don't blame the technology (nuclear), blame the operators of the plant.
The earthquake rattled Japan, triggered mudslides and set off a blaze at a nuclear power plant.

Swedish power company Vattenfall AB pledged on Thursday to "restore public trust" in its nuclear activities after its image was tarnished by its handling of problems at two German plants.

"We are now working to restore the public's trust and prove that we are a responsible company and a competent and reliable nuclear power operator," the state-controlled group said in its report of lower second-quarter earnings.
Vattenfall: The Swedish energy firm's expansion into Europe's deregulated market is raising questions.
Meltdown avoided by pure luck
Vattenfall also runs the Forsmark nuclear power plant, 60 miles north of Stockholm. On 25th July 2006 the main power supply to the Forsmark-1 reactor was interrupted. Two of the four backup generators failed to start, but luckily two were sufficient to run part of the plant's cooling system. If they hadn’t started there could have been a catastrophic meltdown.

Read a book concerning nuclear power plants. This type of thing occurs much more often than you'd be comfortable with.
