And they say foids can't be truly passionate about sports.

>On Saturday, the University of Utah football team hosted San Diego State at Rice-Eccles Stadium. The woman "posted threats of violence" on the Yik Yak app before the game, stating that "if the football team did not win the game, (she) was going to detonate the nuclear reactor that is located in the University of Utah causing a mass destruction," according to a police booking affidavit.

>Police note in their affidavit that the student does have knowledge of the nuclear reactor and "is aware of where the reactor is located and attends class in the same building where the reactor is housed."

It's a little TRIGA research reactor, it doesn't even need a containment building. Everything about it was designed to make it impossible for even the dumbest students to hurt themselves with it.

Reed College has one and nobody has accidentally blown it up while they were high so I'm pretty sure it's not possible to.
