A couple of people have written to me to say that this is a test reactor so you would not need a permit for it. I doubt that.
In the US you are not allowed to install a 1 MW conventional boiler without a license, and you are not allowed to operate it without a permit. I do not think they would make an exception for a nuclear reactor that works by unknown principles. On the contrary, this would probably invite more scrutiny than usual.

Plus you would need a week or two setting up and calibrating the instruments beforehand, and some days to take apart the machine and look inside it, either before the run or after. - Jed
