I love to tinker with stuff, but I don't see the attraction of building a homemade nuke reactor. I've always been more attracted to steam engines, must be hereditary

I suspect the guy that was trying to build the replica of Little Boy might have had friends in Russia

Scary stuff though, I just read this today and I don't really trust GE to keep the lid on it. They'd license the rights to anyone with a billion bucks, and since they are now a "Global Corporation" they have no good reason to worry about how or where it's used, that's not really their concern since it has nothing to do with profits.
