Correct!

 

That is why Thorium originally lost the government contract; unlike its competition it just make waste and not that much of it, and its waste can't be used for weapons. 

 

Pros:

stable, 1 man to operate, less waste over all, not radioactive when offline, abundant material

 

Cons:

Can't make weapons from waste (aka. deal breaker)
