Looks like an Electrolux...



It was defiantly not a meltdown.  He was heating a mixture of Radium, Americium, Beryllium, and Sulfuric Acid over the stove.  It might have been a small hydrogen explosion due to the ignition of hydrogen liberated from the H2SO4/Be reaction...probably set off by one of those cigarette butts in the background.  Otherwise the concoction just boiled over.

Here is a link to the guys blog.
