[ RadSafe ] Exempt neutron sources

[Bill]

Philo T. Farnsworth: Inventor of the modern Television and the tabletop 
fusion reactor.
You can build your own fusion reactor for $1000 in parts. It produces up 
to 1,000,000 neutrons/sec.
Just thought you might like to know about another source of neutrons. 
These are available on the net.
