Indeed, not something which I'd ever want to do in my kitchen.

Its OK, you can cook your baked beans on one of the other plates

Beans = manifold enhancement in destructive power of the nukes ........

Add the salt, teaspoon of coriander, pinch of plutonium, some red wine (don't forget that), and we're done!

....Hmm...This tastes funny :suspiciou

I lol'd so hard when I read this in the local news paper. Vault-Boy approves big time.

Have any one heard of David Hahn, 'The Nuclear Boy Scout'? An american scout who wanted the nuclear badge so bad, he successfully produced a few milligrams of Plutonium using common household appliances. Thorium from "strongbright" lanterns, Americium from about 100 smoke detectors, and Radium from 1950's-old watches. And he sure got the badge! Along with a sanitation-squad from EPA on his neck.

The nuclear safety regulations doesn't cover civilian production of plutonium, so mr. Hahn was released without charges.

Wiki article.

YouTube clip.

As for the Swede, he'll probably get fined for possessing professional levels of nuclear materials. He didn't succeed in making a reactor after all.

Edit: Oh wait... I didn't actually see that they mention Hahn at the bottom of the article. Great minds think alike it seems
