The Radioactive Boy Scout: The Frightening True Story Of A Whiz Kid And His Homemade Nuclear Reactor

This is one of the best books I have read. Some people have tried to copy the exploits described in the book. They must be mad. The book makes it very clear the danger that you expose yourself to. The book combines the story of David Hahn with a history of radiation and scientists through the years. I was captivated. I read the book in two days. Even if you read the wiki page it is no substitute for the actual book, it will just prime your appetite.

A great book on what a young boy scout with an unhealthy interest in chemistry and nuclear energy got upto in his backyard potting shed.Being a radiation protection professional, I was pretty shocked at his practices!Well worth a read.

Great book, bought it for my stepson to read but started to read it and now he's got to wait for me to finish.

Short but interesting read!

Molto valido. Affronta e approfondisce temi molto seri con la leggerezza di una farfalla e la documentazione di uno scenziato.
