Well not just thorium. But natural uranium, depleted uranium bread into fissile fuel, recycled materials, ect.
There is supposed to be a 1,000 year supply of thorium and about a 700 year supply of uranium already sitting above ground in storage in Iowa left over from the cold war.
So I think we can safely round that way down to a 1,000 year supply.
Long before it runs out, fission power will probably be obsolete.
