What’s the catch? Why aren’t these things being build by the hundreds around the world?
Since thorium is so commonly available, we could build hundreds of 500 to 1,000 MW LFTR reactor installations and render the use of burning coal to generate power essentially obsolete. And we could generate so much electric power that all of our long-distance railroads could be electrified. The result is a dramatic drop in air pollution, since we won't have the pollution from coal-burning power plants or many thousands of diesel-electric locomotives.
