I think that thorium based reactors do not produce the waste as other reactor types do, however, envirowackos who rule the swamp have made such a critter impossible to build.

The radioactive element thorium may just save nuclear energy.

We are familiar with the names Fukushima and Chernobyl. They’re the most devastating nuclear meltdowns to date, and their effects are still being felt years later. This has made many hesitant to look any further into nuclear power…

But thorium could change all that. Its chemical makeup is far superior to uranium, the usual fuel for nuclear reactors. It’s cleaner, produces more energy, and best of all, it will reduce the risk of a nuclear meltdown to almost zero.
