This is complete nonsense. Fuel choice has little to do with how safe a reactor is. Pretty much everything you say has to do with they type of reactor, and not the fuel. This is a common misconception (perpetuated by some pop-science youtube video stuff). You can build reactors with different fuels be passively safe. In fact most companies that would like to develop Thorium Breeders are in fact all starting with Uranium reactors but non are not passively save. Terrestrial Energy from Canada for example is party based out of a group that got to know each other at a Thorium conference, yet they are building a Uranium fast reactor. This reactor is passively save and doesn't need 'control rods' to not explode. Please stop perpetuating this sudo-science. There is basically s single real benefit to thorium. That is the ability to breed thorium in a thermal spectrum. U-233 that is the actual fissionable material in a thorium reactor generates 2.1 neutors in a thermal spectrum.
