This 12-Year-Old Built a Nuclear Fusion Reactor at Home, A World First for His Age

This young lad got an interest in nuclear power when he was just 8 years old. And while building a nuclear reactor wasn't feasible for him, he did manage to get engaged with a project incubator program in Texas. 

And built a working fusion reactor! 

There's still some validation and testing required, and it remains to be seen if it could be viable at scale. 

But, wow. Curiosity got him a long way! 

And what have I done with my life?! 


And meanwhile, in Britain, there’s a $266 (USD) retrofit of a coal power plant into a fusion reactor. Which is impressive in its own right. But definitely a little pricey.
