There was a kid somewhere who built a nuclear reactor in a metal shed in his back yard...
Here it is... just found it on Google:
The whole story of how he did it is really interesting.
Nah, no point. Although the cancer-preventative effects of low-level radioactive exposuredemonstrated by medical studies on airline crews and Denver residentsare highly desirable, nuclear plants simply don't produce enough radioactivity. Your typical nuclear plant releases less radiation than granite buildings like the U.S. and Texas Capitols.
So there's no upside to living next to a nuke plant, and plenty of downsideyou'd routinely have to clean the detritus of leftist anti-nuke protesters out of your yard. Who wants that hassle?
