It also seems a lot of folks might even have nuclear surplus just lying around. According to to this 1943 Time article, they were almost giving radium away back then, given the 1500+ year half life makes it still as radioactively viable today if somebody had some of the domestic materials such as old paint intended for clock and watch dials of that era.

If he’d have pulled it off without killing the surrounding biology, they would have given him the Nobel prize!! Question is: Where did he get enough radioactive elements to even attempt it???

It happens every day, and not only in your kitchen. He might be in danger of blowing himself up or, more likely, poisoning himself, but he’ll never be able to reach a critical mass and launch chain reaction just by accident…
