Perhaps the discussion about thorium should go into the Thorium page?
In general it would be simpler to remove all mentions of nuclear fuel limitations from this page, as it's rather speculative, one way or another?
Thorium reactors are cheaper, or more economical. They are not more efficient in the usual sense of efficiency. Kilopower is only 25% efficient and future Martian reactors might not be optimized for fuel efficiency but for cooling system costs.
