Book Review, © Copyright 2004, Jim Loy
This is an amazing book, or rather it is a great book about an amazing event. Teenager David Hahn built a nuclear breeder reactor in his mother's back yard, as a Boy Scout science project. As a result, he contaminated himself, and the neighborhood with radioactivity, and he got busted. Be amazed to read how he acquired beryllium, americium, radium, thorium, and uranium. And read how he built a neutron gun, and a working reactor, a very dangerous reactor. Also read a short history of breeder reactor accidents.
