Abstract
The worldwide increasing energy consumption depends largely on fossil resources and is not sustainable. Section 1 starts with a reflection on this precarious situation as an introduction to a recently proposed possibility of a thorium-fueled sub-critical reactor driven by a proton accelerator. In contrast with reactors fueled with uranium, breeding with thorium can offer clean and inexhaustible commercial energy. The following sections are devoted to feasibility, to non-proliferation aspects, incineration and transmutation, and to further FEA-stimulated studies.
