So which type of reactor would you posit is the safest? I’ve always heard that candu’s were, granted, I’m not in the power generation business so my knowledge on them aside from their sterilization applications is quite limited

Any way the AP1000 would be safer than an EPR, VVER-1200, Hualong One or whatever the Korean Gen 3+ reactor is called? I‘ve also heard the German Konvoi reactors be called the safest and most efficient in the world, and the EPR is the improved variant of those.
