High Schoolers Use Homemade Nuclear Fusion Reactor To Dominate Science Fairs (us.com)
An anonymous reader writes: 20 high school students gather every Friday night in a basement of a modest home in Federal Way, Washington to work on science experiments using a home-made nuclear fusion reactor. [They've also reportedly won top honors in science fairs as well as college scholarships.] This extreme science club is the brainchild of Carl Greninger, a Program Manager at Microsoft by day, scientist by night. He was concerned about the current state of high school science education, [and] lamented that the public school system does not truly expose students to the excitement of experimental discovery.
So using his own money (and one-ton of radiation shielding), Greninger "gathered some students and built a working nuclear fusion reactor in his garage."

You come to slashdot and ask "Why behind a bookcase"? What is wrong with slashdot?
You, dear sir, hand in your geekcard at once.
Why? Because it is a freaking cool to have a fusion reactor in your garage in a secret lab behind a bookshelf! I cannot imagine someone on this website even has to ask that.

You do know their security and safety history, yes? I consider this a dangerous thing.
