Nuclear reactors using Thorium as fuel have already been built and put in operation in the US.

Yes, but it was not the design currently being discussed (which is way better if it works as advertised). I do not see any nuclear power plants coming online in this country for the next fifty years. The current generation(s) of kids have been to indoctrinated against nuclear to the point of rabid opposition. Just think if we had 100 plants in the 600Mw range in operation what a different place we would be in the energy world.
