Thorium Reactors

The great thing about molten salt reactors is, you CANNOT have a melt-down. You MUST intentionally heat it up to get it to run; if you don't KEEP it hot, it can't run.
Got a problem, let it cool down by itself. NO accidents.

Another is - it's freaking thorium, one of the most common substances on the planet (in that it is found everywhere, not necessarily in great concentrations).
It's probably hard for any nation to corner the market on thorium.

Go for it. Can't hurt at all to do the research and trials, and still keep around a few uranium nuke plants to keep the arsenal upgraded while producing energy.
