I can only plead that the Meltmobile never reached the stage of full systems engineering.
I imagine that this problem could be solved, though. Calculate the maximum radius by which it could go astray, add a safety factor, and choose a vacant lot of the correct size. Such as, say, the Nevada Test Site.
People operating balloons have the same problem, although a 1400 K skin temperature and a load of fission products would certainly complicate things.
On the positive side, most things that go wrong with this system wind up with your waste already buried...
