Thorium produces just as much fission product waste as uranium.
And any thorium reactor is going to have to include 238U in it, or else the effectively high enriched 233U it DOES contain would be an unacceptable diversion risk (even with 232U contamination). That means it's going to produce more plutonium than you are letting on.
