Looks like they are APR1400 reactors, which are pressurized water type.
The French have used GE boiling water reactors for years, and I don’t recall them having anything catastrophic happen.

The French reactors are based on the Westinghouse Pressurizer Water Reactor design.

Well there have been accidents obviously. Japan being the most major.

But ask yourself what happens when something happens that causes a disruption to a nuclear plant on a major scale. It could be war. it could be a natural disaster. What happens when those cooling pumps sudden shut down and there is no way to maintain power or keep them going.

How about a meteor strike. How about if someone drops a nuclear bomb just close enough to prevent normal access to and normal operation of the plant. Lots of possibilities if one thinks about it.
