Isn't it realistic for nuclear disaster to have environmental damage that will last 1000's of years without repair?

Some designs currently in use, if catastrophically mismanaged, yes.

OTOH, some newer designs (eg LFTR) are walk-away safe: Nuclear explosions/meltdowns are physically impossible short of deliberate sabotage.
