Rebuttal to arguments against use of nuclear power to produce electricity

I'm not sure I buy all these arguments but this blog referenced further down provides some useful information.

The mosr salient argumnet against nuclear energy is its potentail diversin to bomb making.

But the use of thorium fuel cycles reduces this risk substantially leaving the many advantages of nuclear.

In addition thorium fuel cycles can burn existing toxic radioactive waste products reducing the 'storage' problem which is certainly the second most salient argument against the renewal of nuclear.
