Devil's Heart reactor causes deaths and fears
The article discussed fatal test accidents that occurred during the U.S. Manhattan Project to develop nuclear weapons, specifically the plutonium core experiment known as "The Fat Man." The incidents took place in 1945 and 1946, resulting in the deaths of two scientists and injuries to others due to explosions and deadly radiation. The causes were related to human error and tool slips during the experiments. These accidents led to changes in safety protocols, the cessation of manual testing methods, and the reuse of the core in later weapons programs. The core is called "The Fat Man" (The Devil's Heart) as it symbolizes the dangers of lethal nuclear experiments.
