Shit like this makes me LOL. I know guys that do things that might not be legal, or be in a grey area in their own homes, but the worst that could happen is that they die from it. Boggles the mind that some think its OK to make a breeder reactor. What are they going to do with the product / waste / contamination of the neighbourhood?

Edit: use advanced edit and you should be able to fix the title.

I read about a kid on cracked that built one in his shed and ended up getting radiation all over his neighborhood. His neighbors were PISSED.

Lol!

A Swedish man has been arrested on charges of illegal possession of nuclear material after trying to split atoms in his kitchen.

Richard Handl said he had the radioactive elements radium, americium and uranium in his apartment because he wanted to try nuclear fission as a hobby, then police showed up.

He said he had always been interested in physics and chemistry and "just wanted to see if it was possible to split atoms at home."

The raid took place in late July, but police have refused to comment. If convicted, Handl could face fines or up to two years in prison.

Backyard science at its finest.

I hope the court is reasonable and sees that he had no malicious intent.

I guess there's not any information as to whether he actually had the equipment to split atoms, or if he could contain such a reaction if he achieved it, right?

This makes me wonder how illegal it is in America. Honestly, I would be fucking furious if I was arrested for this.

That's fucked up. If he had reasonable control of his situation, he should be able to continue his work.
