History David Khan is an amazing and exponential, especially for parents. Hard to believe, but the 17-year-old was able to realize in the grandfather's barn complex scientific project. He collected actually complete a nuclear reactor. Unfortunately for him, things did not go as planned.
David Khan - a young man, who was later the world's media dubbed "Radioactive Boy Scout" - has always been an unusual and very "passionate" child. From his early years, David was interested in physics and chemistry, I put a variety of experiments. Moreover, the level of complexity of some forced to wonder what all this did, in fact, a child. At some point in their lives the guy is not a joke became interested in nuclear chemistry. It all started quite innocently - with the books of chemical experiments, which gave David his grandpa on the 10th anniversary.
A big role in the boy's enthusiasm has played an early divorce of parents. Each time David spent time with his mother, he had nothing else to do. Its parent company preferred a new boyfriend, but David remained out of work. Friends at his new place of residence was not, but because Han took the shtudirovanie experiences of my grandfather's books. While mom and stepdad and sometimes explosions heard sounds coming from the child's room, they did not pay enough attention to this.
However, prior to the establishment of a nuclear reactor David Hahn managed to excel. He poisoned canthaxanthin, suffered burns in an attempt to make sparklers, and once and for all burnt house. Surprisingly, after this David's mother only asked him to transfer the experience of the barn. And then the guy and then set about trying to create a reactor.
Hard to believe, but all the necessary materials teenager got tricked by contacting the Nuclear Regulatory Commission and introducing a college professor. He spent a thousand dollars for the purchase of various ingredients found old 1950s Clock, construction of which was radium and uranium procured in the Czech Republic. Work on the guy reactor completed in 1994, the level of radiation in the area began to grow steadily.
Fortunately, the level of radiation was not critical. Because of the reactor "nuclear scout" no one was hurt. Family David escaped with a fine. After such a negative experience of the young enthusiast hit rock bottom, he abandoned his scientific pranks and went to serve in the army.
I want more nuclear issues? How about to look at here is the 3 outstanding submarines from the Soviet Union, which still showed America "gruel" during the Cold War.
