Conflicts over energy resources, particularly fossil fuels like oil, can stem from a variety of factors including geopolitical tensions, resource scarcity, and unequal distribution of energy wealth. These conflicts can lead to economic disruption, social unrest, and environmental degradation. Thorium(Th) is abundantly and widely distributed can very likely reduce the geopolitical scarcity issue significantly. Abundant energy, passive safety features, reduced long-lived waste and the potential to reuse waste from existing legacy nuclear reactors are among its advantages besides reducing nuclear proliferation.

Thank you Periodic Videos.
Information by Professor Sir Martyn Poliakoff is very useful to understand basic nuclear reaction technicalities and was sourced from Periodic Videos published on Mar 21, 2016.
