Don't forget Walter Peck of the EPA.

Had to google Walter Peck... lol
The NRC would definitely take umbrage with an unlicensed nuclear reactor being built or operated.
That said, OP's link is for a Fusion Reactor which, unless the author of the instructions has somehow made a breakthrough that has evaded the best minds in the field, won't be able to sustain a reaction without consuming more energy than it produces, and won't actually achieve true fusion. I bet the guy also has some awesome plans for time machines and warp drives as well.....

From what I read on David Hahn, that before and after pic is most likely the result of a 3 year crystal meth binge rather than exposure to low levels of radiation.

I think I'm starting to think along these same lines.. Requiring more energy to sustain a reaction than what would be yielded by that reaction is pointless other than a science project. Bullfrog's post earlier basically said the same.
I will keep you updated with any new time machine or warp drive plans though!
Not true. A guy named Eddie Kasalivich made it work in 1996. It's all about the frequencies brah.
I just hope the OP don’t want to have his name removed from MDS in a week or two.

Theoretically, yes. However all the radioactive isotopes of antimony are synthetic, so it would be impractical to find fuel.

You only need 3% to start. And it's a breeder reactor, 'cause no matter how much lead you add, it's always 3% antimony.

You cant even have a 15 micro-curie vial of H3 without a bunch of permits identical to a nuke power station so I'm going with a hard "NO"!
Only at about 3% output for 2 weeks.
And he shared his research with the world freely.
Nukes are fine, 3d printing?.....well.....

Just like homemade a bombs. You can get probably 75 to 80% of the materials you need legally but getting the plutonium to complete it is impossible. You probably could build 80% of a nuclear reactor but getting fuel will be impossible
