Interesting lack of protective gear. Wonder how they fared???

non enriched fuel
non critical mass

For instance the Plutonium core called the Demon core caused 2 incidents wher 2 halves were typically handled with bare hands..
but if the halves ever touched, it was instant radiation poisoning

Look up the Slotin Incident

imagine doing something with 2 halves, accidently slip
Blue glow, and you can call your wife and kids with some rather bad news

The accident ended all hands-on critical assembly work at Los Alamos. Future criticality testing of fissile cores was done with special remotely controlled machines, such as the "Godiva" series, with the operator located a safe distance away to prevent harm in case of accidents.[27]

Quote:

Among the seven observers, two suffered from acute radiation syndrome (Graves and Young) but recovered. Years later, three of the observers eventually died of conditions that are known to be promoted by radiation (Graves of a heart attack 20 years later at age 54, Cieslicki of acute myelocytic leukemia 21 years later at age 55, and Young of aplastic anemia 27 years later at age 64). Although some of those deaths were probably latent stochastic (random) effects of the accident, it is not possible to draw any definitive conclusions from such a small sample set.[17]

The city was founded probably around the 8th century BC, underwent diverse natural catastrophes, and finally sunk entirely into the depths of the Mediterranean in the 8th century AD.
