Don't reckon listening to Greenpeace is high on the list, thanks.

Ha. No such technology exists, unless you don't count maintenance costs as additional costs.
This is untrue. My alma mater was the University of Missouri at Rolla (big tech school in Missouri) and it was a year before I realized that the tiny little building just off the library was an actual working nuclear reactor. Unless it's been relocated/moved it was about the size of two trailers more or less (though of concrete block construction) and I think three stories in all.

Right now we've got spent fuel sitting around on top of reactors just like at Fukushima, reactors which are in fact based on the same design as Fukushima.
It seems to me that Fukushima didn't have a design problem as much as it had a bad siting problem.
