The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) is hardly a tool of the nuclear industry.

Thorium could be a big help. It is apparently more abundant than uranium and essentially all of the thorium can be used as fuel compared to 0.7% of uranium. Thorium reactors can be designed that produce no weapons usable material and the waste is easier to manage.

Also, existing uranium reactors can be converted at a fairly low cost to handle thorium.
