I don't know how safe it is. But compared to Uranium it might be a lot safer.
This link seems informative.

Compared to candle-wax, probably a lot more dangerous.

thorium danger

I did a quick google, and it said "massive amounts" "large amounts" etc. Thorium is pretty darn safe. if a reactor blew up, no one nearby would be at any risk beyond falling debris.

Ranty spam, for sure
