Wonderful answer, that helps a lot. So what I’m getting here is that if I plan to generate neutrons or used controlled fuel I should get a permit. Otherwise aside from electrocuting myself, have fun.

My only concern with neutrinos was detection, everything else can be shielded I know. As the future of technology progresses such as fusion research, neutrino detection from fusion sources is going to play an important role in nuclear security and accountability don’t you think? I cannot think of any reason why they would detect a neutrino signature coming from a place other than a medical facility, private research facility or university lab. If KamLAND started picking up a neutrino signature from my closet (rare), would it be a big deal? No detectable radiation, neutrons, gamma/X rays but a definite neutrino signature in my closet.

Anyhow I have a date at my local particle accelerator next week to discuss neutrinos, so I’ll let you know how it goes.
