I agree, thorium powered plants....much, much safer than the ones working now. The reason why they don't use them now is as Peter mentioned. They criminally risked the safety of the public in order to obtain fissile materials for bombs from nuclear plant designs they knew were possibly dangerous if an accident happened. But the pollies and the military didn't care all that much about it and accepted it as a "necessary and acceptable" risk.
