ROCKWALL, Texas -- The FBI said it does not plan to file criminal charges against a Rockwall man who tried to build a small version of a nuclear reactor in his house.

The man's experiment drew the attention of federal nuclear investigators. Federal investigators searched his home, but said there was no cause for concern.

The man's family asked NBC 5 not to use his name.

The man is an out-of-work computer whiz who redesigns video games. He said he started studying physics around the eighth grade. He said he is a science buff who is fascinated by nuclear reactions and radiation.
