If anyone wants a deeper look at an operational group of reactors that are designed to be as safe as possible and difficult to operate unsafely, I highly recommend checking out Canada's CANDU reactors [0].
This video [1] is a pretty interesting and reasonably short look at their safety systems/precautions.
