Dispatch: W212 copy an investigation at 1145 Jones Street. Take into custody the resident and radioactive materials.

W212: Dispatch, can you repeat those details?

Dispatch: The resident has radio active materials and you are directed to apprehend by the Radiation Authority.

W212: Then you tell the Radiation Authority to get their ass down here and arrest him themselves. I have no protective suit. (break) Is it clear to head down to Dunkin Donuts for an off the menu order????

Dispatch: (confused) 10-4.

Go pick up a copy of The Radioactive Boyscout.

A 17 yr old kid in Michigan in the '90s built a breeder reactor in his backyard. It never reached critical mass but the backyard shed he did his final experiment in was dismanted by the NRC and hauled away in nuclear waste barrels.

Here's a synopsis:

The book goes into much greater details on ihs life, why he did this, his ambition, how he got the Americum from smoke detectors, the Thorium from gas lantern mantles, how he purified these elements through other methods, the cover stories he used to get information from experts, etc.


For those unaware:

Why am I not surprised that you of all people posted this?

I'm not sure how to take that... but I'm going to assume it's just because you recognize greatness.

Thanks for the suggestion. I just started working nights and have some down time. Was just thinking about picking up a book. Just ordered it on Amazon

So was he also into meth in a big way or was this just the result of radiation exposure???

Take it as a compliment. That's how it was intended.

Remember the old science kit that had uranium in it they sold back in the day? Good times.

Yep, that and Mercury.

looks just like Oppenheimer.

Sounds like their education system might be a little better than ours. The only thing cooking in our kitchens is Meth.

Here was another funny reply:

"If only our teens were nearly so inquisitive about science and mathematics. If they were, we'd have enjoyable headlines such as, "Crips Gang Members Build Cyclotron Under Sam Jackman School." When questioned by authorities, gang members stated they were trying to create a small black hole to be used for stashing money and drugs from street heists."
