A disaster waiting to happen?
Radioactive materials - for those chemistry boffins here - recovered from his home included radium, americium and uranium. Handl even had setup a blog online and posted the latest achievements of project here. His blog can still be viewed You must login or register to view this content. if you are interested.
Although Handl mean't no harm in his project, he could still face up to 2 years in prison if he is convicted later this year. What do you think though, is he a real danger to us and should be locked up? Or has his curiosity just got the better of him?

He was released and now the police just keeps eye on him so he can't get any nuclear materials.

Read the sources, it was only a small amount, same radiation as background.
