The technology doesn't exist.
Extract:
The thorium breeder is based on the conversion by neutron capture of non-fissile thorium-232 into fissile uranium-233, by a similar system as the uranium-plutonium breeder. The feasibility of the thorium breeder is even more remote than that of the U-Pu breeder.
Problems include:
? the high radioactivity of U-233, which is always contaminated with traces of U-
232,
? similar problems in recycling thorium due to the highly radioactive Th-228,
? technical problems not yet satisfactorily solved in reprocessing.
An overview of research projects in the past and of advanced thorium reactor
concepts is given in [Q302]."
