A man in Sweden was arrested after he was caught trying to construct a nuclear reactor in his kitchen.
The 31-year-old had undertaken the DIY project due to his interest in nuclear physics, he used radioactive material obtained from foreign companies and components scavanged from an old smoke detector. It wasn't until he contacted Sweden's nuclear power agency that he discovered that what he was doing was illegal.
A young man in Angelholm, in the South of Sweden, has been arrested after apparently trying to create a nuclear reactor in his kitchen. The young man's story appears in Helsingsborgs Dagblad, a Swedish language local paper in the area.
