Man tries to build nuke reactor in kitchen
A Swedish man who tried to build a nuclear reactor in his kitchen says he started the experiment "just for fun".
Richard Handl, 31, from Aengelholm municipality in south-western Sweden, was detained by police two weeks ago and says he started the project as a hobby.
"I have always been interested in nuclear physics and particle physics," he said.
In May, he launched an English-language blog, Richard's Reactor, in which he charted his progress in the project, complete with pictures.
His plan was "to build a working nuclear reactor. Not to gain electricity, just for fun and to see if it's possible to split atoms at home."
Just to make sure everything was above board, he sent an email to Sweden's Radiation Safety Authority.
"Hi! I'm really interested in nuclear physics and radiation," he wrote.
"As a hobby, I have ... gathered the basic materials (and) planned a project to build a very primitive nuclear reactor. You can see my plans here," he added, complete with a link to his blog.
"I'm now wondering if I am breaking a law with this?" he asked in the email.
At that point, his experiment came to an abrupt end.
Two days later "the police and the radiation safety authority came to my apartment," Mr Handl said.
Police questioned him for about half an hour, before releasing him, he said.

The post-Fukushima inspection reports that NRC ordered for all US nuclear power plants provide a window into risks that the task force says the agency should address. For instance, in their April visit to the oldest US nuclear power plant,

Nothing dangerous about it, so long as you don’t swallow the samples (if that.) I got to play with Po210 (in the kit) Am241 and a few other isotopes in my senior level nuclear lab. Airgun pellets are just as if not more toxic. Less of a “WTF” and more of a “its sad these days have passed us.”
On a related note, anyone who has the chance to visit the X-10 graphite reactor at Oak Ridge National Laboratory, do it. Experiments such as that are what spurred on public fascination like this.
