Does Finland have a place to store the waste?
There is no reason that an inherently safe reactor can't be built. However there is still the matter of what to do with the waste and the eventual decommisioning of the plant. If the plant is a new and has an inteligent design and there are effective methods to handle the waste then I think its a good idea.
Chernabol was a very old plant with a very poor design. Very dangerous. There is no reason to build something even remotely like it. It was much like the earliest US reactors that were built mostly to make plutonium and the power was secondary.
