BBC News reports on a web developer who is building his own nuclear fusion reactor in his home in NYC.

While I am an ardent fan of scientific research and investigation, particularly those independent, at home, innovators, and while I am not a fan of excessive government regulation, I have to agree with the neighbor,

"A homemade nuclear fusion reactor being built in Brooklyn - I would have thought there would be some sort of rules and laws about messing around with nuclear fusion in your apartment," said Brooklyn resident Stephen Davis. "I'm not sure I'd like that living right next to me."

I'm not sure I would feel comfortable having anyone building a nuclear reactor anywhere in my zip code, fission or fusion, particularly an amateur nuclear engineer.
