The Radioactive Boy Scout

AMAZING RADIOACTIVE STORIES......

Here is the amazing story of the "Radioactive Boy Scout" who, as a teenager, decided to build a nuclear breeder reactor in his Mom's shed and was dangerously close to his goal when authorities discovered his fun little science experiment.

Based on the photo below ... things have not turn out well. The Boy Scout's name is David Hahn. There is a book and an upcoming movie based on David's story.

Below is a mug shot of David taken in 2007 ( at age 31) when he was caught stealing smoke detectors in order to remove the americium from them. Experts believe that the sores on his face are from radiation exposure and hope that David gets some treatment which, so far, he has refused

The villain in the movie Source Code was based on David Hahn.
