You are right. My mistake.
But that actually illustrates the fact that Thorium can replace Uranium in a reactor design that is similar in nature to existing reactors. India is pursuing this for the simple reason that they have almost no domestic uranium but lots of thorium.
To go to liquid thorium you would have to build the infrastructure to handle and process the waste – mostly gasses that are given off. And, it would require an investment of several billion dollars.
Ultimately, the question is not whether Thorium is better than fusion. Because it’s not.
