> So is gold. Both don't fall from the sky however.

Thorium is literally a waste product resulting from rare earth mining. With basically no effort we could have 100s of years of reserves. Thorium is also available in waste quantities in basically every country in the world.

So its not at all like Gold.

> Not currently option, but wee need one now.

No we don't. Fusion actually make very economics sense outside of a few very specific issues. We certainty don't need it in the next 50 years. And practically speaking for power generation on earth fission will likely remain the cheaper option.

> Waste with loooong times to take good care of. Calculate the provision for 10000 years of toilet paper for a single security guard.

In any real nuclear society you would only produce waste that only needs a few 100 years of storage.

And anyway toilet paper and pope are simply resources that are recyclable. So not sure why that would even be an issue.

Also, you literally don't need a guard at all.

> So the hunter-gatherers were definitively nuclear.

Hunter-gathers required waste amount of land to produce their daily energy inputs.
