Summary

Description A sphere of plutonium surrounded by neutron-reflecting blocks of tungsten carbide. A re-creation of the August 21, 1945 criticality accident at Los Alamos to measure the radiation produced when an extra block was added, making the mass supercritical. The experimenter, Harry Daghlian, was killed by the subsequent radiation dose he received.
