I believe India has an interest in thorium breeders (due to their thorium deposits), but I don’t have much confidence in their nuclear reactor designs. Is there anyone else working on thorium breeder reactors?

I do not know enough about their program But MSR’s have been around a while are very safe and have the ability to deal with deadly Plutonium as you know neutron's NOT burial is the best way to neutralize the problem..we have a 1000 years of Uranium which leads to waste problems and 3000 years of Thorium.Put them on the coast and use the heat to distill water.They can be in Module form from a factory.
