I'm not sure there's a place far away enough, while still relatively free from regular natural disasters (and human disasters, like war). It's not like high-voltage transmissions lines are very lossy, so if putting plants far away was enough to assuage the nuclear fears, we'd probably have them already.

The main problem with putting nuclear reactors far enough away from everyone is that they need to be cooled, which means a water supply. There aren't that many places that have plenty of water for cooling, but no people. And most of the places that do fit that description already have a nuclear power station.
