Swede arrested for building nuclear reactor in his kitchen

[YosemiteSam]

:laugh2: The man was completely open about it and even called and ask if it was legal for him to do so, yet they come running and arrest him!

All they had to do was say no and confiscate the material. It's not like there was a dangerous amount of radio active material nor the ability to build a usable apparatus.

===================================================

Swedish police have detained a 31-year-old man in Ängelholm in western Sweden who was discovered after he sought advice from authorities on the legality of building a nuclear reactor in a domestic kitchen.

The man began his experiment some six months ago and has reportedly been open about his plans to construct a nuclear reactor in his apartment in the small Swedish coastal town, maintaining a blog of his nuclear adventure.

The man, who explained that his interest in nuclear physics was awakened as a teenager, ordered some radioactive material from overseas and acquired more by taking apart a domestic fire alarm.

That'd be an awesome weekend project to get working.

I'm going to build a hadron collider in my basement!

Well, while I was kidding about that, I am definitely thinking about building a radio telescope out of my old DirecTV dish just for fun.

Completely unrelated, but I've been putting together a replica of one of these over the last few weeks for a photo shoot. Mine will include the same backpack ammo system that Blaine carries in Predator.
