The inventor of the Erector set made an
Atomic Energy kit
12 year olds in the 1950's could make a
Nuclear reaction in their kitchen!

Although drama aside all those meterials today
are no longer harmful and really were not very harmful then also.
Today we live with so much radioactive material
that will not kill us, like a banana, our smoke detector, and even water and yup...our body has radioactive material! So do not bother trying to run :)

 


This is a nuclear effects bomb calculator!
