You're still using nuclear material, Uranium, for the power source. However the design of the nuclear reactor is different. With a Thorium shield the reaction can't "run away" like current designs, ie FuckusShima.

A Thorium reactor is like having a gas pedal in your car, the more you press, the faster you go, take your foot off and the car will eventually slow down.

Todays reactors are like having the throttle at max and driving with the brake. This is why they are stupid.
