It’s more a function of how much of the Cirith Ungol Frost and Fire 1980 Shirt and I love this material is in a given volume. It heavily depends on the material and its shape. You can store tons of plutonium in the same spot safely if it is in containers that are shaped so no pockets of supercriticality form when you fill them. This was a huge problem early on in the us nuclear program when working with liquids with dissolved nuclear material in them. You won’t have enough material to get a runaway reaction in a subcritical mass. It would be lkke trying to get a really undetinflated balloon to pop by squeezing it. There’s not enough material in one place to sustain the reaction because the material can’t generate enough neutrons. On the flipside, a supercritical mass is always generating enough neutrons to generate an ever increasing amount of them. Or, to put it in nuclear power terms, a reactor without control rods will be supercritical. Put in the control rods to absorb the neutrons being generated and your reactor will be subcritical. A properly functikning reactor is carefully ballencing these two states so it sits at critical without running away.

They started calling it the Cirith Ungol Frost and Fire 1980 Shirt and I love this Demon Core after this incident, before that, it was called Rufus. Yes, I am serious. Yeah, it’s mind-boggling to think about how casual they were with such a dangerous object, especially after the first accident with the core that took the life of Harry Daghlian just months earlier. You’d think that would’ve been enough of a wake-up call to handle it with extreme care. But nope, they were literally poking at the boundary of a nuclear reaction with a screwdriver. The demon core certainly earned its name, not just for its ominous role in potential destruction, but also because it almost seemed to be tempting fate with these scientists. No matter how intelligent and educated you are, a certain amount of senseless stupidity seems to be baked into the human experience. Out of all of humanity, Slotin was uniquely positioned to be a foremost expert on this thing, a trailblazer, on the cutting edge of science. And he killed himself and poisoned people he respected because he wanted to feel a thrill. It doesn’t help that he and his peers had coined incredibly dorky phrases for what he was doing, like “tickling the dragon’s tail”. “But where is everyone else?”, asks the monkey fucking around a barely subcritical sphere of plutonium with a screwdriver…
