Where are the thorium reactor ? We currently have none. Are we allowed to throw speculative energy source in the debate ?

    Already India and chine have had working ones for many years. It's not speculative and I recommend you to research the tech. It's unfortunately not very present in western nuclear energy debates. Could be a political reason but that's just a dirty guess

    I thought all thorium based reactor were still at the research stage. I made a quick search to see if there was any in actual use but couldn't find a source. If you have one please send it I'm really interested.

    If they are still at the research stage then I'll wait until one is built at scale to decide whether they are a better alternative.
