Radioactive element that is a source of nuclear power (7)

I believe the answer is:

thorium

(Other definitions for thorium that I've seen before include "Radioactive element -- rout him (anag)" , "Radioactive element, Th" , "source of radioactivity" , "chemical" , "Radioactive metal, Th" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
