Chemistry sets weren't that cool when I was a kid, but you could blow yourself up.

Had no idea about this “Atomic Energy Lab” set. Sounds like it was never banned - it was discontinued because 1) it was more appropriate for a physics lab than for kids, and 2) it sold for close to $600 in today's money. What an idea for a toy… lol. They claimed that the amount of radioactivity it released was very moderate. en.m.wikipedia.org But, I bet, for a few thousand $$ you could get enough material to build a small dirty device… g/ng.
