The irresponsibility involved is mind boggling.

You should try to get a hold of and read a novel called 'The Radioactive Boy Scout' by Ken Silverstein.. based on a true story of a teenage boy who builds a reactor in the garden shed!! see link below, it is a really good read.

That boy scout story is amazing. Ron's article is a worry too.
