[QUOTE="patooyee, post: 614159, member: 483"] I listened to a podcast about the Slotin incident once. Apparently there is some speculation / disagreement over what really happened. Apparently Slotin was a show-off and had goofed with the screwdriver to scare people multiple times in the past. He would slowly slide it further and further out from underneath reflector until only the tip was barely underneath it, leaving the reflector just a fraction of a fraction of an inch away from falling and causing the core to react. Some of the survivors say this is what he was doing the day it fell. It cost him and most like others their lives life and made several people very ill. It is crazy to me to think that they left such an important thing up to the role of a single flat head screw driver. I hope they at least had a Snap-On or other good brand. :) [/QUOTE]
