My google search was for thorium and radon. That left me seeing not a magical power source but the same old radon involved that we have had for years as a problem child. And since they are interrelated we seem to be stuck for one with the other.
And yes it does seem to be nearly everywhere. Solve the radon problem and leave the power and it is potentially a winner.

The radon problem solves itself, the half life of its most stable isotope (222Rn) is 3.8 days as an alpha emitter, it decays though several daughters into the form of 210Pb, which is what the waste material would be when it is stored. 210Pb has a half life of 22.3 years as a beta emitter, in this form it will end up as the stable isotope of lead, 206Pb.
