This has already gotten some coverage today, but it’s worth mentioning again: in a warehouse on a tree lined Bed Stuy street, resident Mark Suppes has built his own nuclear reactor. He is the 38th amateur scientist to do so. According to the BBC, his neighbors don’t seem to mind and the procedure is apparently legal and safe. Suppes’ goal is to solve the world’s energy crisis, and we don’t think Bed Stuy’s a bad place to do it.
