Build: Siemens, AEG. Operate: PreussenElektra, EnBW, Vattenfall, RWE, EWN. Or was that a rhetorical question for a solution with a zero catastrophic failure rate (in Germany)?

Zero is impossible but Siemens, AEG, Vattenfall are examples of companies that value profit over security. Siemens can't even built proper WEC, what's the nuclear equivalent of blade breakage on wind turbine?

  Have there been catastrophic failures of fission reactors in Germany built by Siemens? Are you familiar with functional safety classification and how this affects the development of systems? Would you draw conclusions from the failure rate of Siemens vacuum cleaners to the company's capability of building fission reactors?

    I would just like to find out more, do you have any sources I can look up to learn more about the "risk" topic?

    Don't those functional safety classifications exist for WECs? Now add the long history of Siemens briberies and the trust in that company goes to zero.
