I thought one of the major pro-nuclear power points was that old reactor designs were flawed and new designs address the issues. Isn't that point consistent with shutting down existing reactors?

After the accident, Chernobyl continued to provide power to Ukraine, up until it's last reactor was shutdown in 2000.
