Thorium (U-233) is one way to solve the proliferation risk.

You even put U-233 in there

How proliferation of fissionable U-233 is different from proliferation of fissionable Pu-239? Both share ability to be separated from fuel without enrichment factories, both can be used to build a bomb.

I like thorium cycle, but proliferation should not be used as argument for it.
