I just re-watched the renowned series "Chernobyl", so I'd say no.
I've seen it once, years ago. And I learned the movie twisted some facts, allthough I don't remember the details any more.
But didn't they break the rules in order to do some experiments?
And after the accident they didn't do dammage controll either for a while. Denial was more important untill it wasn't possible any more.
I can't imagine a similar accident and folowing events happening here in western Europe as it happened there and then.
To be honest if it can happen in Japan, Western Europe would surprise me much less. Sometimes no mistakes are required for things to go wrong, freak accidents happen, force of nature is a thing.
Nonetheless I am pro nuclear energy, as I do not see any other way to reach our climate goals... But at this point it might be too little too late.

Nuclear energy has its pros and cons, but it has the two great merits of being nearly carbon neutral and cheap. What's more new generations (III+ and IV) of reactors are much safer than old reactors like Chernobyl (I and II).
Bill Gates and Kurzgesagt have both argued in favour of nuclear. I am particularly dismayed at Germany's decision to close its nuclear plants to replace them by dirty coal plants.
