MAX PROTONHahn was a teenager who attempted to build a homemade nuclear reactor in his backyard in the 1990s using materials he obtained from household items and industrial sources. His project was eventually discovered by authorities, and he was investigated for potential nuclear safety and radiation hazards.
Did you know... 3 mile island was not the first major nuclear reactor disaster on American soil. some 18 years before, near a small town called Idaho Falls a small experimental low powered nuclear reactor exploded killing all its operators and coating almost 30 miles of desert and highway in mild doses of cesium. To date it is the only reactor explosion in the US to cause instant death, and remains the only nuclear accident in US history to product Corium. This is the story of Stationary Low powered reactor 1 Or SL1 for short.
I love nuclear physics. I have always been fascinated by it. For me though there is the history of nuclear and atomic physic's. Its got a rich and somewhat checkered past, throughout its development there have always been, 'bumps' in its road.
