Comment Re:Thorium reactors? (Score 1) 226
Very good summary of the arguments against Thorium, but your first point can be put more succinctly:
1) They are more complex than Uranium reactors we use now. The fuel is cheaper but fuel is not a major contributor to the cost of running a nuclear power plant.
1) There is no economic advantage to Thorium reactors.
And make no mistake: the main factor holding back nuclear all over the developed world is not safety issues, public opinion, waste management or proliferation, but cost.
