Welcome to iceinspace.
Unfortunately I am anti NP so I will disagree.
I think it is more expensive than anything else if one was realistic about long term costs.
Accidents...yes this or that wont happen again.
Accidents are so named because they are unforseen...what unforseen events does NP hold.
Thorium maybe but its biggest drawback is that it does not produce weapons grade bi product...so it won't fly.
