UPDATE: Columbus Fire Chief Steve Martin says Hazmat and bomb squad crews, responded to a residence in the area at around 6 p.m. He added that authorities are responding to an unconfirmed report that someone building a “nuclear device” claimed they were injured, per WBNS-TV.
Emergency crews are currently investigating a report of a possible small nuclear reactor inside a residential garage in Columbus, Ohio, the Columbus Dispatch reports.
Bomb squad have reportedly been called to the scene at a home on the 6300 block of Chippenhook Court, located off the west side of Sawmill Road and just off the east side of Route 33. Hazmat crews have also been called to the scene, per WCMH-TV.
Chippenhook Court has reportedly been evacuated as crews investigate the report. Batallion Chief Steve Martin, the Columbus Division of Fire spokesman, is reportedly en-route to the scene.
No further details have been given. We will provide more information as it becomes available.
Lol. Sounds like he left the door to the microwave open.
I was thinking of Sheldon Cooper myself.
Maybe he had a metal pan in the microwave full of something odd.
RF generators need shielding. RF generators are also used to produce/contain plasma, but that takes a lot of juice.
Anyone remember the story about the kid who figured out how to build an nuclear bomb a few years back? He didn’t build it but some techs looked at it and said he had done it... made the papers. He was a freeper. Don’t know if he still is but if he’s still here he’s probably on this thread.
Hi gang. Don’t try this at home, or do. While it seems like a prime way to become a Darwin Award winner these fellows have been doing these kinds of things for years now and are still alive and kicking.
Fun with microwaves...

> Not as bad as the milk that I noticed had started to turn...
Way back in the dark ages when the milkman delivered milk in bottles and I was but a youth my grandfather lived with us. I’m guessing he was in his mid 80’s to early 90’s and still had some preferences he developed when he was living in Poland. He would keep a bottle of milk on the window sill in his room and after three or four days have himself a delicious (to him) drink. I never tried it but he certainly enjoyed it.
Anyone who is curious and skilled is simply trying to engage their flux capacitor with 100,000 gigawatts of electrical power to go back to the future.
A lot of people wake up every morning with inspiration to bend the time space continuum. Yankee ingenuity is still alive and kicking.
OHIO PING!
Please let me know if you want on or off the Ohio Ping list.
BREAKING: Bomb Squad Investigating Report of a Possible Small Nuclear Reactor Inside a Garage in Columbus, Ohio

It was nothing. Mentally disturbed man. Squad found nothing
Actually, it was a young Sheldon messing with his STEM project
Lol. Sounds like he left the door to the microwave open.
I wonder if he removed a magnetron tube from a microwave oven and accidentally cooked his face? (Microwaves are technically a form of radiation.)
Next, he tells the first responders that he was burned from “radiation” and panic ensues.
it was just a clock
Valencia? I saw it on 24.
Sure beats a gas fired generator!
Am I in trouble?
Where is Ahmed today (a.k.a. Clockboy). Has he moved on to making the real ones?
