Somebody needs to give that guy a good job and a good education. Not many kids with the know-how, interest and smarts to do that. He could be the next Einstein, Teller or Oppenhiemer.

Scarey. Why couldn't some homegrown America-hating Jihadist baddies make a dirty bomb with some of the same materials?

"It's simply presumed that the average person wouldn't have the technology or materials required to experiment in these areas."

The "average person" is more inventive than government or academia.

Depending on his exposure level, he may have increased his life expectancy. Statistics have shown that the effects of radiation exposure graph out in the shape of a "J", with a small amount being beneficial, and with increases becoming more beneficial before beoming less beneficial and then beoming harmful.

Nothing that is not known in any basic nuclear engineering text book. See my link on the viability of producing an effective device using this method.

I read that book last year, quite an interesting story.

You can do a lot with a few hundred chips of americanium from smoke detectors and a few thousand lantern mantles.
