Teenager builds nuclear reactor in basement


A TEENAGER has created a working nuclear reactor in the basement of his family home.

Thiago Olson, 17, bought spare parts on eBay and persuaded manufacturers to give him discounts to create the machine.

The schoolboy took 1,000 hours over two years to build the fusion reactor, which creates energy by combining atoms.

Wow. If he can do that can terrorists do it? I don’t know much about the story but could it be possible to create something like a bomb from this? I wouldn’t have thought it would be that easy.

Whaa...???

A foreigner building a nuclear reactor here in Blighty?

Are you insane? Everyone knows foreigners are more civilized and peaceful than Brits. Foreigners do not commit acts of terrorism, everyone knows that!

I think you must be a ...dare I say it..."RACIST".
