Speaking of power supplies...
Has anyone proposed a handwavium-enhanced thorium fission reactor?
The pro-nuclear fuel advocates IRL have been pushing this as uranium becomes less available/more expensive, and it's claimed that it's not usable for weapons as well as dealing with the nuclear waste problem. Supposedly India is making a big push towards thorium reactor tech.

The reason I ask is that I could see it becoming a wide-spread technology in Fenspace, in this time frame...
