#2 I do hope Brit authorities will provide some kind of protection for the kid and his family---too many idiots, especially ones called Muhammad, who don't understand he can't make a nuke for them.

#4 I would expect HM's govt minions, in the persons of environmental agents, then security personel, to give young Jamie's classroom and home a thorough going over. Can't have the masses getting off script, you know. (The BS line about how difficult nuclear stuff is, and only they can protect us, just give us your trust and taxes, etc. It's worked well for them for half a century.)

#5 Fusion's not the big challenge - controlled fusion with net energy gain is.

#6 Jamie said afterwards. "I can't quite believe it -- even though all my friends think I am mad." Edwards, who has a keen interest in science let the reporter in on a little secret,"I've been working on a Photon Ray Gun in my dad's garage. I call it the William Tell, it's almost ready to test, if you care to stop by you can assist me."
