The great ease of detection of small amounts of radioactivity is
one of the reasons you should have more confidence in this
industry than almost any other: you can't hide a leak.

Unfortunately that doesn't help you to fix it, eg Fukushima

The leak caused no deaths and no major exposures to radiation.
761 people died as a direct result of the evacuation.

I think you mean indirect result

These are deaths that can be directly related to the evacuation itself
and that occurred within three months of the disaster. Later evacuation
related deaths bring the total to 1,656, as compared to the 1,607 people
killed in the Fukushima prefecture by the earthquake and tsunami.
