    Thereactorguy2054v2: It was just a joke lmao. The worst part is that I wouldn't be the first to do it, David Hahn began doing it at age 17 in ~1994 before all his radioactive materials were confiscated.

    nuclearraelcun: they can be a lot smaller too; I made a polonium molten salt reactor as a test which had a core size of 7x9 pixels and it delivered a similar-ish amount of power to this. Maybe I'll refine it and upload it in the future.
