The late 1950s was a bad time for nuclear accidents, with power excursions, criticality events and meltdowns galore!
Needless to say if you were working back then in the nuclear industry then you better have had good insurance.
Today we are back at the Los Alamos laboratory for the 3rd and lesser known fatality from a criticality event, the first two being linked to the demon core.
The event would be named after its victim and called the Cecil Kelley Criticality event.

Hello! Have any suggestions of any future nuclear videos let me know below😬😬😬
These accidents seem to occur when doing routine maintenance, cleaning, etc. So, just stop doing these. Problem sorted. Simple. :-)
Poor Cecile Kelley assumed a situation to be as usual, instead of knowing by checking. Routine can get you killed.
I'm a simple man, I see a horrid nuclear accident that leads to death, I
How can you identify a nuclear worker? When they turn the throttle on their motorcycle the sound it makes is "REM! REM! REM!"
Scary. And sad. It’s almost inconceivable. A bright blue flash, and your no longer of this world just two short days later.
The Cherenkov effect is stunningly beautiful, but also something you never want to see up close and in person. This guy probably knew he was doomed as soon as he saw the flash.
In my experience the main problem with strict controls are the managers. One of the managers main jobs is to make sure those under them aren't wasting time as such they'll increase the workload untill things start going wrong. They then tend to ingore employees when they complain about not being able to do things in the proper procedure given the time they have because they just don't care so long as they're meating the deliverables.
You should do videos on the old Army Ammunition Plants. Several of them had serious chemical leakages.
The words nuclear & accident should never go together.
Just got off work at the coal mine this makes my job look safe
"exposure to death was 2 days"
Good morning, nuclear accidents are a perfect way to start the day.
Nobody:
Nice I am a contractor that works at the NRU site! So much history! You can still see the mound of dirt where the bulldozer and trailer are burried
"Demon core" sounds like a genre of metal music. 🤘😈
Video idea: Los Alamos Lab used the wrong brand of cat litter to repackage radioactive waste, which led to a radiological release at the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant.
"The late 1950s was a bad time for nuclear accidents"
"...things had changed since the 1940's when nuclear weapons were built by hand by experts,"
"Which, with my cooking skills..." Yeah, but does it glow when you take it out of the oven? 🤣
