Awesome! Funny how six year olds even know about nuclear plants.

Don’t flame me, but the Germans didn’t help us in the Revolutionary war, The French did, the German Hessians helped the British

I think that’s actually a WIN for the nuclear power reactor and it’s builders… I mean, it was taken seriously, wasn’t it? …Isn’t that what the kids wanted?

The FAILURE is on the part of the police for… whatever it was that they were thinking (I will not be so bold as to assume anything).

THEREFORE, this fail should be retitled.

Hm, I must admit that if someone were to find any container with a nuclear sign on it that I’d appreciate the authorities to actually check it out like that.

It’s not like it had a post-it “Made by 6 year olds”, did it?

Those kids were just working on their (Manhattan) project for school.

Their teacher probably had a (nuclear) meltdown.

As someone who has worked with radioactive materials, I have to *partially* agree. Immediate evacuation was probably an overreaction if they had easy access to some form of measurement: radioactive sources, fortunately, are rather easy to verify, and if it is already there, leaving it there a slight bit longer isn’t going to make the situation much worse than it already is.

However, it is important to realize that radioactive sources can look like almost anything: the labels and warnings alone, in many cases, are what make them noticeable without a detector. I had one source, for example, that was a fleck of paint painted on top of a small threaded bolt. That source was strong enough to cause permanent, major damage within minutes if, say, put into a pocket. Incidentally, this source was once lost for a short time when someone decided to put it in a box screwed into a conveniently sized nut… which was another radioactive source. Everyday household objects can and are made into sources, and the labels are what make their danger clear.

Sadly this could happen anywhere in Germany. As soon as nuclear radiation is mentioned, 90% of all Germans lose their capacity for rational thought…

Yes, I am German, and yes, I am a tiny bit frustrated…

This is when the adults are stupid.
The kids were just having fun and playing, duh!
(6 year olds can do a lot that we don’t give them credit for, though)
Poor kids lost their nuclear base :’(

Actually, that was not the right story, the one above is about how a high school kid built a device that acts like a fusion trigger in an H-bomb.
This is the right link,

Check out what this kid did.

Actually got enough radioactive materials together to force his house to be evacuated and turned into a toxic waste superfund site.

This is Germany so it’s understandable that they did this because since WW2, they’ve been pretty big on these sort of things that are related to that era.

It’s quite simple really. Someone sees a metallic box with a “radioactivity warning” on it and phones the police. They have no choice but to assume it’s real and possibly dangerous until they can determine otherwise and act accordingly to protect the public from a possible threat. Everything turns out fine, turns out it was just kids playing pretend, and millions of people tout their intellectual superiority over the police on the interwebz. On a related note, anyone remember the Aqua Teen Hunger Force bomb scare in Boston a few years ago?

Wrong answer. I have an account with a picture and with that one I get *squeezes* .I am generally nice and everyone treats me well. However, sometimes it is just much more fun to see how wound up yall get.
