> I suppose these new reactors are made to the latest norms of safety
They are, the Chinese are buying reactors like the AP1000 which is quite possibly the safest production-level certified reactor ever designed by humanity (and no I'm not a Westinghouse employee, I've just had a nuke "interest" for about thirty years).
Its almost comical in some sad ways... I've read reasonable predictions that in a decade the entire Chinese national "fleet" will have a total aggregate incident rate for an entire country below some individual antique American reactors. Absolutely tragic.
