Have you heard of thorium fueled reactors?

Much different story!

[Ozark Tom]

Have never felt an animus toward fission energy, and have reasons to believe a technology designed around molten salt would be a pragmatic way to enhance safety. Probably the waste reduction would achieve a practical 95% reduction of current reactor level and storage requirements reduced to 300 years.

Thorium doesn't fission but is a precursor to one flavor of uranium which does. Thorium(232)+neutron--->Thorium (233)β--->Protactinium(233)β--->Uranium(233)

Thorium is not particularly energetic, so it would take a lot of it to make gobs of power. It is not an abundant substance. How long would supplies last? Probably not that long.
