Which element is being tried to replace uranium in nuclear power?

Thorium

(The Nuclear Research and Consulting Group in Petten, Netherlands has started conducting its first trial in the five decades for molten salt reactors based on thorium. The last time a molten salt reactors was built was at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory in USA)
