Slotin floppies...

Alvin C. Graves was standing right behind Louis Slotin during the famous “Demon Core accident” on May 21, 1946 at Los Alamos. Slotin was doing a dangerous hands on experiment with the plutonium core, using a screwdriver to keep two beryllium reflectors separated just enough to stay subcritical. The screwdriver slipped, the hemispheres came together, and BOOM, a sudden burst of neutron radiation lit up the room with that famous blue Cherenkov flash. Slotin took a lethal dose and died nine days later, but Graves got hit with about 166 rad of neutrons and 26 rad of gamma. The neutron blast activated the metal in his dental fillings, turning them radioactive so they started irradiating his mouth from the inside. To stop it from burning up his gums and tongue, the doctors made him custom gold tooth caps to shield everything until the radioactivity died down.☢️

Not only was Slotin a cowboy, that _specific_ core had already killed Daghlian just a year before in a similar class of experiments.

louis slotin & oppenheimer . take it as you will #digitalart

Ok but Slotin was famously a cowboy whose death by this technique Fermi predicted. Bless him for his service but “load bearing screwdriver” is no way to live.

Wirtz also with an assist. Those who wanted SlotIN need to announce themselves and admit they have low football IQ.

DEMON CORE The demon core was a 6.2-kilogram sphere of plutonium–gallium alloy involved in two fatal radiation accidents during experiments at Los Alamos Laboratory in 1945 and 1946. It was originally intended for use in a third atomic bomb but remained for testing after Japan's surrender. Overview of the Demon Core The demon core was a 6.2-kilogram sphere made of plutonium–gallium alloy. It was involved in two critical radiation accidents during experiments at the Los Alamos Laboratory in New Mexico. Key Facts Weight 6.2 kilograms (14 pounds) Diameter 8.9 centimeters (3.5 inches) Material Plutonium–gallium alloy Manufactured1945, as part of the Manhattan Project Intended Use Third atomic bomb, later for testing Accidents Involving the Demon Core The demon core was involved in two fatal accidents: First Incident (August 21, 1945):Physicist Harry Daghlian accidentally dropped a tungsten carbide brick onto the core, causing an uncontrolled chain reaction. He received a fatal dose of radiation. Second Incident (May 21, 1946): Physicist Louis Slotin conducted a similar experiment and accidentally brought the core into a supercritical state, resulting in another fatal radiation exposure. Consequences of the Accidents Following these incidents, hands-on criticality experiments were halted. Remote-control machines were developed to conduct future experiments safely. Fate of the Demon Core After the accidents, the demon core was initially intended for use in nuclear tests. However, due to its radioactivity and the need for re-evaluation, it was ultimately melted down in the summer of 1946, with the material recycled for other nuclear cores.

Tuli haukuttua aiemmin nämä primetime-slotin matsit illasta, mutta tämähän on ollut pelkkää shampanjaa ja mansikoita! Hurjia taistoja. #dartsfi

In 1946, physicist Louis Slotin was conducting a dangerous experiment at Los Alamos Laboratory using a plutonium sphere dubbed the "Demon Core." The procedure, ominously nicknamed "tickling the dragon's tail," required him to keep two halves of a beryllium reflector slightly separated around the radioactive core. Ignoring standard safety protocols, Slotin used only a flathead screwdriver to wedge the heavy halves apart. On May 21, the screwdriver slipped. The upper hemisphere fell into place, instantly triggering a supercritical chain reaction. A blinding blue flash of ionized air filled the room, accompanied by a sudden wave of intense heat. Reacting instantly, Slotin knocked the top hemisphere away, saving the lives of the seven other scientists present in the room. However, he had already absorbed a highly concentrated, lethal dose of neutron radiation in a fraction of a second. He immediately experienced a sour taste in his mouth, and his health rapidly declined. After suffering extreme blistering, intestinal paralysis, and total organ failure, Slotin died nine days later. The core, which had killed another scientist just months prior, was eventually melted down.

Weet je ik denk deze dagen vaak aan Feyenoord. De mensen, de club, de supporters, het stadion, het waren 3 prachtige jaren. Iedereen was zo goed voor mij en mijn familie en de waardering was groot. Ja, daar doe je het ook voor als trainer.” w.g. Arne Slot. #slotin

Elissa Slotin. Deep state CIA operative. This is the truth about Slotkin right here.

Rehellisesti sanottuna yllätyin, että tämä pronssi on näin iso asia Norjassa. Ehkä se on perisuomalainen alemmuuskompleksi, että "marginaalilajin pronssi" saa ehkä illan urkkaruudussa pidemmän slotin mutta siinä se.

I've done this once, back in 2019 Accidentally deleted too much from a previous sudo rm -rf path... /usr/bin... Couldn't do much after that. I now know how Louis Slotin felt. Like a dead man walking.

俺があれだけ#slotinを掲げてきたのに… 悔しくてたまらない、、 #スロットは名将

asooyyy, suwun pol, dok @tirta_cipeng nek cedak tak cipok ubun-ubunmu. mwaahhh.... #YNWA #SlotIn
