This is sort of a tricky question because a nuclear meltdown doesn't occur frequently, yet it does strike hard.  The Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster is the one example I'd use for the nuclear devastation from a meltdown. Though this was a once in a while chance, most nuclear plants do NOT meltdown frequently. I'd go with A! The cleaning process of nuclear plants and maintenance is an astonishing rate. We're dealing with hardcore chemicals and compounds that cost one heck of a ton, and the transition from chemicals to energy to whatever they're doing in the plant can be crazy expensive to keep up with. If I were you I'd go with A!
