Swede admits home-made atom experiment was 'crazy'

BBC News reports: “A Swedish man who tried to set up a nuclear reactor in his kitchen at home has admitted his plan was ‘crazy’.

“Richard Handl said he had just been "curious" and wanted to see if he would be able to split an atom.

“Police were called to his flat in Angelholm in southern Sweden after he got in touch with Sweden's radiation authority to check if what he was doing was legal.”
