I dont agree with this writer's cc premise, but I am with him when it comes to the safety of Thorium powerplants.
Why thorium is a safer nuclear option | The Daily Star
This also describes exactly why this power source was not developed sooner.
This comes mostly from the fact that plutonium, an essential ingredient of nuclear weapons, is not produced in thorium reactors.
