Thorium reactors have the advantage of being able to “burn” existing waste isotopes from uranium reactors, and may well be cost-effective on that basis alone. They might be able to “give away” their electrical output at FF prices. But that depends on gubmint willingness and rational choices for waste disposal.

errrr… wouldn’t an aneutronic DPF be able to power dedicated disposal units that are both faster and cheaper than a thorium-based reactor could dream of?
