I'm interested in building a Farnsworth Fusor, mostly for the neutrons
so you can set off alarms at SNO in the middle of the night? :-)
well, not until you suggested it
Incidentally, as much as I love my my new school, I learned a lot (although not necessarily in the classroom) at NCSU, and they deserve mad credit for doing great things... since way back right up until today. To wit:
September 5, 1953
NC State’s School of Engineering today operated the world’s first nuclear reactor used for teaching, research and public service (first non-government nuclear reactor). One year later, NC State launched the nation’s only doctoral program in nuclear engineering.
