It wouldn't even have been approved in the west (maybe Britain would do it, considering what they did with the Windscale piles) when it was originally built in the Soviet Union
PWR reactors that were built around that time in the west, which are already physically safer, have strong containment buildings in case something happens. Chornobyl had a more dangerous design no containment building.
