Yes, French nuclear powerplants were standardized and built in batches ("séries", in French). This does not magically creates conditions for a perfect design and building process. See for example https://theecologist.org/2016/sep/29/sizewell-b-and-27-other-edf-nuclear-plants-risk-catastrophic-failure https://theecologist.org/2016/sep/29/sizewell-b-and-27-other... Planes aren't perfectly safe (my brother was killed when SR111 crashed in 1998 after failures). Anyone preferring not being exposed to a plane crash can abstain to travel in planes. Anyone preferring not being exposed to nuclear reactors boo-boos and hot waste has no real way to do so.
