Thorium reactors may turn out to be a bum idea. In fact it's quite likely, as if they were a good idea then everybody would already be doing it. It's not as if Chinese physicists had stolen a Long March on the rest of the world. I put forward as an example all the wonderful inventions of Nikola Tesla which have never made it into the marketplace, although the technology is well understood and public domain, simply because they don't work.
