Nuclear fission is the reaction that has had meltdowns. There are fission technologies/strategies that are supposed to be meltdown-proof, but I do not know the science well enough to say whether that is true.

that's kinda true but not yet commercially deployed. The main idea is on overheat fuel expands and fission reaction is stopped/reduced due to higher distance

Meltdowns are also not the only risk.
