Finding Dirt for that Bomb

I read a couple of statements on the dirty bomb thread about ease/difficulty of obtaining radioactive material.

Here is a link to an old Harper's article about a teenager that attempted to build a breeder reactor in his back yard.

It's a fascinating read...

FYI, wife works in a Level 1 Trauma center, she said that 80% of their radiology staff is of Arab descent. They handle the used up stuff all the time. (shrugs)
