I’m afraid you are a day late and a dollar short. The nuclear gene was let out of the bottle by spies working at Los Alamos during WWII per VERONA inquiry and project. A similar the CO2 meme viewed the US as bad and gave USSR nuclear information to serve as a counter weight to US dominance.
Today, we have Pakistan, Israel, India, Russia, North Korea, Japan, South Korea, China, USA, France, Great Britain and coming on line, Iran, countries with nuclear power plants and/or weapons. And like most nuclear families, some have paranoid and disruptive members. Which terrorist organization are you seeking to limit access?
Thorium reactors have a certain pizzaz now that they have been discovered by the media, precisely because they are inherently safer and even harder to weaponize than conventional Boiling Water Reactors’ fuel.
A little circumspect on your part will unveil that there is a cheap way to terrorize, say with Sarin gas, or cheaper still, and readily available on many dry goat skins, anthrax spores.
Systems can and more likely than not will be put in place to address Thorium power or any number of its derivatives from being readily available for terrorism, just like TSA is in place to reduce the likelihood of another 9/11/2001 terror attack. TSA around the world. Pretty effective so far and they deal with millions of passengers every day.
IMO nuclear energy is the logical progression to inexpensive global energy needs whether or not atmospheric CO2 concentrations constitute a real or trace concern.
