HOW TO BUILD A HOME-MADE LIGHT WATER REACTOR

First we need to build our reactor. Then we make our plutonium-238. When enriching the plutonium-238 stop the enrichment process before the plutonium is enriched to plutonium-239 that would be too much enrichment. Now, go buy some hydride. Mix the plutonium-238 with the hydride to make fuel rods. You will need to select a material to serve as control rods to moderate the neutrons to control the fission reaction. 100% graphite is a good material to use to moderate neutrons. You can be easily do a search on the internet for the other materials to use if graphite does not fit your needs. When your done with your reactor power up and go.
