Tarikh Episode 662
In this episode Nikhil talks about The Demon Core. The third nuclear bomb developed to drop in Japan. The third bomb refers to a critical mass of plutonium-239, which gained notoriety due to two separate incidents in 1945 and 1946, involving scientists working on the Manhattan Project at Los Alamos National Laboratory. The core was intended for use in the creation of atomic bombs during World War II.
The first incident occurred on July 16, 1945, when physicist Harry Daghlian accidentally dropped a tungsten carbide brick onto the core, causing a criticality excursion. Daghlian received a lethal dose of radiation and died 25 days later.
The second incident took place on May 21, 1946, when physicist Louis Slotin, while conducting a similar experiment, manually separated two hemispheres of beryllium around the core using a screwdriver. The screwdriver slipped, leading to a criticality accident. Slotin experienced a massive dose of radiation and died nine days later.
These accidents highlighted the dangers of working with fissile materials and contributed to improved safety protocols in the nuclear industry. The Demon Core incidents underscored the importance of handling such materials with extreme caution and paved the way for enhanced safety measures in nuclear research and development.
