As others have said it seems that digging isn't cheap. My question is, is it even safe ? Surely if there is an accident or incident, there are the same issues if not more, groundwater pollution for example, risk of explosion, potentially causing further natural events such as earthquakes ?

This seems extremely blasé. "it will fix itself". By radiating the surrounding environment ?
I am a believer in nuclear power. It can already be done safe and is being done safe in most cases. This isn't solving any real problem.
