That seems like somewhat absurd speculation. Both of those events made future incidents significantly less likely. Also Chernobyl was totally avoidable and only happened because of extreme incompetence prevalent in the USSR.

A speculation for sure but I think it's realistic given the premise. Same safety standards as the Boeing 737 Max for nuclear power plants, same standards as coal power for storing the waste? If anything my speculation is optimistic!
