Is an accident as in Chornobyl likely to happen in German nuclear power plants too?

Regarding the applicability of the Chornobyl (russian: Chernobyl) accident to a German plant, the Reactor Safety Commission (RSK) stated in November 1986 "that a promptly critical power excursion as it occurred in Chernobyl can be ruled out due to the inherent physical features and the technical equipment in a light-water reactor of German design and that the safety concept of nuclear power plants in the Federal Republic of Germany is not called into question by the Chernobyl accident."

The Chornobyl accident was based on the reactor-physical properties of a water-cooled and graphite-moderated reactor. Such a sequence of events cannot occur in the light-water reactors used in Germany. However, assuming a failure of all safety devices, other accident sequences could be imagined that could lead to a core melt-down.
