I remember reading the story of David Hahn. He decided to try building one in his mother’s yard shed at age 17. The EPA wound up having to clean up the property as a “superfund” site.
Back in the ‘50s the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission envisioned exactly that – every house to have its own mini nuclear power plant in the basement. You can’t make this stuff up.

I suppose he doesn’t realize how dangerous (or deadly) radiation is.

In the next panel, Paige finds out:“Mom, Jason and Marcus are building a nuclear reactor!”

I say go head Jason but use burning wood and yard waste instead of Uranium or Plutonium.

Considering how hard it is to come by nuclear fuel, go ahead and build the reactor. It won’t do any harm and would keep the boys busy for a long time.

Jason clearly needs his hearing checked…again.

That is not only not okay, it is both extremely dangerous and HIGHLY illegal.

The Curies didn’t understand the dangers of radiation either.
