I don't think it's molten salt reactors. I learned it as small modular reactors (SMR) which naturally cooled to safe temperatures if they lost power and water.

Right, but it still expensive and it makes +30% of wastes

Sure, but we shouldn't be using only one type of nuclear reactor anyway -- we can deploy the SMR design for more populated areas where safety is paramount, and then run breeder reactors in uninhabited areas to convert the SMR waste back into fuel.
