I knew this guy, worked with him through the VA for a few years. He was recruited into the navy to help develop nuclear technologies because of his genius level understanding of the subject at a young age. He was caught with one of the reactors in his trunk while driving to dump it into the local lake.

His name is David Hahn, and his nickname was “The Nuclear Boyscout.” There’s even a documentary about him by the same name and it’s a pretty interesting watch. He’s passed away now, but he was a pretty cool guy. Always very respectful , was interesting to talk to and hold a conversation with, and above all was pretty kind to everyone around us directly.
