Check out a Readers' Digest story from about five years ago titled: "The Radioactive Boy Scout". He bought hundreds or thousands of old lanterns, laboriously scraped off the thorium, and built an almost functional breeder reactor in a back shed. The neighbors were mighty surprised when NEST teams in moon suits started poking around the neighborhood.

I rememeber this incident. Yep it can sure wreck ones day when NEST shows up nall of a sudden. So to those who think a dirty bomb is a myth this is a good read. Thank God, this did put a scare into DOE. The likely hood of this happening now is remote. But heck it was only five years ago and I am sure AQ is a little smarter that your average Boy Scout.
