Exactly..

The "meltdown" phenomena that have been the primary negatives that have plagued Uranium fueled reactors at 3 Mile Island, Chernobyl and the ongoing triple event at Fukushima are not issues with MSR's.

...and nuclear energy is very good except when it is very bad as in the above events

The other primary drawback to the Uranium reactors is the radioactive waste that occurs

Another of the benefits of the MSR's is their ability to effectively incinerate that accumulated waste material

The Indians are currently in the process of deploying Thorium powered, electric generating, reactors

The technology is available

It is more a need to educate and encourage policy changes

Currently there is a deep fear of "nuclear" energy production and new installations are essentially at a standstill

Thorium would provide breathing room to transition from carbon based generation to renewable sources
