It's not a reactor, because reactors are usually associated
with being critical. He was just a kid fooling around. Unless
he ingested some of the isotopes (judging from the description,
he did sound like a sloppy experimenter) nobody even got hurt.

He could have done real damage if he built a particle
accelerator. Luckily, wunderkind he was not.
