Diagram Experiments

In summary, the conversation discusses David Hahn's experiments, which involved creating a nuclear reactor in his backyard. It is important to accurately label all components in the diagram and accurately represent their relationships. All components were essential to the experiments, which sparked controversy in the scientific community and brought attention to the need for stricter regulations in handling radioactive materials. The key results were the creation of a nuclear reactor and radiation exposure, which raised awareness about the dangers of amateur science experiments. However, the experiments did not have a significant impact on nuclear science and energy.

hi,

see my diagram here, is my "neutron gun" correct, or have i made mistakes?
what will happen to the "uranium powder"? will it eternally grow more radioactive, or will it at one point transmutate?
