    I’ve read this: “The Radioactive Boy Scout: The True Story of a Boy and His Backyard Nuclear Reactor”, by Ken Silverstein. The EPA had to come and clean up his project.

    Let them do it. They can hook up to the grid and make your electric meter run backwards.

    Even Sheldon Cooper didn’t try until he was 12.

    Most parents would laugh and say to go ahead. If this mom OK’d it, Jason prob’ly would succeed in building it.

    My brother once built a simple nuclear reactor simulator. No radioactive materials involved. He put a blinker light bulb in a box, made holes in the box big enough to slide a pencil through, and used pencils with different colors of paint to show how control rods work. Depending on the color of paint on the pencil (and how much of each pencil was inside the box with the bulb), the bulb would blink faster or slower.

    Jason, next time go ask your dad. And what are you and Marcus trying to build that requires a small scale nuclear reactor?

    The youngest of my three older brothers built a Van de Graaff generator in the basement. Tagged himself with it, too.

    If a university basement was good enough for the Manhattan Project people, it should be good enough for you, Jason.

    You can build a fusion reactor. Not a fission one…
