Get your own Nuke Reactor

[Kurt (Indiana)]

This reminds me of the days when my parents used the old "DELCO" generator in the shed behind the house

I wonder if there are any plans available to build your own? Just think, power your teardrop for 40 years with a reactor the size of a cigar box. The roof mount cooling tower could be a problem

You should read the book "The Radioactive Boy Scout". Its a true story about a teenager who built a breeder reactor in his tool shed for an Eagle Scout badge.

And you should see what he looks like today.

Ouch!!! Looks like it blew up in his face. It's hard to believe that he is still alive. If he was a "real" scout he would have had a radioactive protection suit on. He wasn't "prepared". I guess he didn't get his merit badge in that.
