[Rockhounds] homemade nuclear reactors (was P=holes and detectors)

Very interesting--never heard of this!  It took me a while of reading  this, 
and the book review you linked to these stories, to puzzle over whether  this 
was real, or a fictional story pretending to be real.  I think I  finally 
figured out that it is... well, you decide for yourselves.
 
(Interestingly, googling for "Radioactive Boy Scout" also comes up with an  
apparently unrelated 2007 story, from Discover Magazine, about a different  
teenager (also from Michigan) who supposedly achieved deuterium fusion in his  
home lab. The issue is NOT dated April 1, so I'm still trying to figure  that 
one out, too...)
