What is the meaning of the topleft most symbol in this Cockroft-Walton schematic?

It's the box with the zig zag line through it. I noticed that he is using boxes to denote resistors, but the zig zag line and current specification makes me think that it may be a fuse.
If such is the case, what is a suitable circuit breaker or fuse to use in this application? Will anything rated for a 100mA cutoff and wall AC be suitable?
If anyone would like to share some of the equations (aka charging time derivations, way to calculate max current intake, etc) for a Cockroft-Walton voltage multiplier, I would appreciate it. I am in high school, so please keep the calculus single-variable, if possible ;)
Thank you in advance for any responses.
And yes, berkeman, I am being supervised by an experienced adult :]
