I once witnessed such a situation with a medical radiation source. Guy didn't die, but lost his hand. He was perfectly calm and just said: "I fucked up!" But as someone who works around radiation sources from time to time I have to correct you in one aspect: That was no little slip! It was incredably reckless to do the experiment like that. He should have created a mechanism that hold the upper sphere and lower or raise it by a threatbolt. You don't bet your life and that of your collegues on not slipping once in your carreer. You create test circumstances where such a slip will not have catastropohic consequences.

As Murphy’s Law stated: “If everything is proceeding well and smoothly, then something was overlooked.” And his other famous law, “What can go wrong will go wrong.”

@@Mothbean really... is that so? Personally, I'd say that the first bomb was unnecessary. We already know, from documents, that they moved up the drop because Japan was already in surrender talks with the Russians. Let me say that again ... "Japan was already in surrender talks" ... Unfortunately, NOBODY in the western alliance wanted the Russians to gain from the surrender. And, lets face it,... you don't let a cool toy like that go to waste! So, what was happening just before we dropped the bomb... Well, the war was pretty much over! VE day was a whole 3 months prior... and Japan was already on its knees and in surrender talks with the Russians. The official surrender only took a further three weeks because of the chaos and disruption caused by the bomb. And, why were the Japanese surrendering to the Russians rather than the Americans? Well, they were terrified of what the US would do to them. Turns out, they were absolutely right! The US didn't want a surrender, they wanted retribution... and I get it, I really do. The Japanese were disgusting during WWII... my own Grandfather was a Japanese PoW following his capture during the Burma campaign. But, as inconvenient as it might be... surrender is surrender... and once talks begin, hostilities should end. A White flag is a white flag, regardless of which ally you wave it at... and the Japs were already in a Parlay with the Allied forces. America didn't see it like that. But... You'll argue, I'm sure... in fact, if you're American you almost have to! America have invested a lot of time rewriting history to be the good guys. So, lets cut the nonsense about whether Japan deserves it, or how many lives Americans like to say it saved,,, and get, instead, to another issue ... That time when the USA nuked the Bikini Islanders _(friendlies BTW)_ and deliberately moved them all back to their homes to monitor the effects of radiation on humans, crops and livestock. Eh? What? Yeah... that was a whole thing that happened... The USA is a nation that caused untold suffering to a friendly peaceful nation counted as an ally... knowing what most of the effects would be, but considering that real-world measurement of those effects to be more important to US interests, than... y'know... innocent lives ... or ... maybe not being f**king evil. They're still suffering now, due to that _"Strategic curiosity"_ And, when they all started getting ill, we told them they were safer where they were! So, tell me again... how America HAD to drop the bomb on a surrendering nation, to save "millions" of lives in a war that had been mostly over for 3 months ... and how they would NEVER commit a war crime because that's something that only their enemies do : / I suppose, technically speaking, the Bikini Islanders wasn't even a war crime... ... y'know, being that they were civilian friendlies

It is possible to survive Radiation poisoning, it just depends on the dose recieved and quality of medical care.

It would have been worth mentioning the calm and logical demeanor of Slotin. At the moment of the blue flash he told everybody in the room to freeze. After flicking the top sphere off, he ordered chalk to be tossed to everyone in the room and for everyone to draw a circle on the floor around them and sign their name. That way, there would be exposure data to correlate with any symptoms each experienced. He knew he was a dead man and that some of the others were not likely to survive the next few days; he did not want the information of these potential research subjects to be lost or their deaths to be for nothing. While I cannot find a source, I also once heard that he initially refused pain management so he could report on any changes he felt in his condition. Thanks to his quick thinking and dedication to scientific progress a lot was learned about radiation dosing and the effects it has on the human body.

I notice a lot of people asking what would have happened if they had left the hemispheres on top of the demon core instead of removing them. Okay, I am a retired Nuclear Engineer, not a Nuclear Bomb maker. Basically, until the hemispheres were removed there would be a critical mass so that there would be lots of energy including heat and radiation emitted by the demon core. During this time everyone in the room would receive large doses of radiation. As the core heated up it would undergo physical changes and the hemispheres would be blown away from the core ending the criticality. I don't know how strong the explosion would have been but it would not be as large as a nuclear bomb. My understanding is when designing a bomb one needs to find a way to hold the 'core' together long enough to generate massive amounts of energy because its trying to blow itself apart.

This configuration is so unstable trying to expand that it must be held together long enough to allow all the energy to be produced for maximum explosive force.

Couple of points. 1. 300 isn't "fatal" by some specific definition. In fact it's much more widely recognized that 450 is a reasonable cutoff point, where 50% of victims will die. As that implies, it's possible to survive higher doses-if there's a hard limit, it's probably over 1000 rads. 2. The final fate of the Demon Core wasn't discussed. It's fairly interesting. They were planning to use it for the third atomic test in the first post-war series of tests (making it the sixth atomic explosion overall), but that third test was canceled after the second in that series, "Baker", ended up causing a radiological disaster. The Demon Core was eventually melted down and repurposed for many other tests down the road.
