Have you heard about doing chemistry experiments at home? Have you done any?
Well , some experiments might not be legal to conduct at home and that's because the risk is not just threatening you but the entire neighbourhood. One of these experiments which are quiet illegal every where in the world involve doing anything related to nuclear energy and atoms. However unless you are in Iran and report your experiments to the government; as the case was reported by Ahmadinejad (The president) a few years ago! He claimed an Iranian teenage girl was doing some of these experiments at hom. and he continued:_0918_-_Ahmadinejad_nuclear.jpg)
“She tells us that she has invented nuclear energy at home…So, I called the head of the nuclear energy institute and told him… to support her if her claim was true. Now… She has a driver and a bodyguard."
On the contrary, this July (2013) a man in Sweden was arrested for doing so. He was arrested on charges of unauthorised possession of nuclear material after trying to split atoms in his kitchen says he was only doing it as a hobby.
Richard Handl said he had the radioactive elements radium, americium and uranium in his flat in southern Sweden when the police showed up.
He said on Wednesday he had always been interested in physics and chemistry and "just wanted to see if it was possible to split atoms at home".
Handl kept a blog about his experiments, describing how he created a small meltdown on his stove.
Only later did he realise it might not be legal and sent a question to Sweden's radiation authority, which sent the police.
Detectives have declined to comment on the raid, which took place in late July. If convicted Handl could face fines or up to two years in prison.
