Conventional nuclear power Problem Low risk Problem
Conventional small nuclear reactors Problem High risk Problem
Uranium-238 breeder reactors Abundant High risk Almost none
Thorium-232 breeder reactors Abundant Low risk Almost none

So far, it seems that thorium is the only nuclear power that could really scale up enough to replace all fossil fuels.
