The Standard is Maximizing Net-Benefits

Looking to all citizens requires that we weigh the consequences of our actions with a utilitarian calculus since

1) the state is founded upon aggregation of citizens resources to produce a net-benefit due. Woller:  Woller, Gary. Professor of Public Management @ Brigham Young University. A Forum on the Role of Environmental Ethics in Restructuring Environmental Policy and Law for the Next Century. Policy Currents 7.2. p. 10-11. June 1997.
Moreover, virtually all …  advantage of society.

2)Policy-makers must aggregate the effects of their actions since they cannot know what effects their actions will have on individuals. Goodin:
My larger argument … general rules or conduct.

A) is the plan text
All countries ought to ban the production of nuclear power in any reactor that is not an advanced heavy water reactor.

Lerner 2014 explains how an advanced heavy water reactor would function.
Lerner, George.( president of Lerner publications) "Advanced Heavy Water Reactor (AHWR)- Bhabha Atomic Research Centre(BARC)." Advanced Heavy Water Reactor (AHWR)- Bhabha Atomic Research Centre(BARC). N.p., 9 Aug. 2014. Web. 07 Sept. 2016.
One of the … the electric turbines. 

Advanced heavy water reactors are inherently different from other types of nuclear power types, this means that it has unique benefits to it and avoids certain harms from other types of nuclear power. 

b) are the benefits
Subpoint a) Safety
Advanced Heavy Water Reactors are safer than other types of nuclear generators 

Kumar, Arvind. "On the Physics Design of Advanced Heavy Water Reactor (AHWR)." MTCD (n.d.): n. pag. MTCD. MTCD, 30 Oct. 2013. Web. 7 Sept. 2016.
The AHWR is … the safety purpose.
Through the use of thorium opposed to other types of fuel in other types of nuclear power generators, it avoids safety concerns by extra safety measures that are unique to advanced heavy water reactors. 

And the advanced heavy water reactor is significantly safer than even other types of heavy water reactors
Type, Bhabha Atomic Research Centre. "ADVANCED HEAVY WATER REACTOR (AHWR) BARC (India)." ADVANCED HEAVY WATER REACTOR (AHWR) BARC (India) (n.d.): n. pag. Iaea. Iaea, 2013. Web. 7 Sept. 2016.
The first phase … unit of DAE.
Even thought the advanced heavy water reactor is a type of heavy water reactor, it ha unique benefits to the specific way that safety measures are handled in an advanced heavy water reactor.
Subpoint b is environmental impacts-

AHWR-LEU is … reactor is envisaged.

The main environmental advantage to advanced heavy water reactors is the ability to reprocess the used fuel in the future. This allows there to be less waste. Which is key to environmental benefits.  

And, nuclear power in itself is beneficial to the environment, but the specific benefits to thorium based generators outweigh.
Advantage Environment. "Is Thorium a Cleaner, Safer and Cheaper Alternative to Uranium?" Miljnytta. Advantage Environment, Sept. 2012. Web. 07 Sept. 2016.
Nuclear power is … an alternative fuel
Thorium has unique benefits that are unique to reactors with thorium has the fuel source.
Rhodes 2012 continues this point
Rhodes, Chris. "Thorium Nuclear Power -- A Lesson From Norway." Forbes. Forbes Magazine, 29 Feb. 2012. Web. 07 Sept. 2016.
The conversion is … molten-salt reactor kind.
Thorium not only prevents future waste, it also has the ability to use of previous waste that was created by plutonium generators. 

c) is the solvency
