Narrative:

I was climbing through 31;000 feet and heard a click and then observed the right hand thrust reverser deploy light illuminate. I immediately pressed the right hand thrust reverser emergency stow button and called for the QRH checklist. No adverse flight characteristics were felt; however based on the nature of what was being presented; we diverted without further incident. Maintenance deferred the thrust reverser and pinned it according to the MEL procedure.
