@wellerstein@ArmsControlWonk didn't Fermi stop in briefly before accident & say the experimenters had a death wish? -
@bizzyunderscore@ArmsControlWonk He did say that to Slotin. After Slotin's death they shut down this mode of experimentation entirely. -
@wellerstein@bizzyunderscore Wait, a Fermi quote that Fermi actually said? - End of conversation

@wellerstein Are these photos reconstructions? I suppose so, since I imagine that a photo would be destroyed by strong gamma radiation? -
@landetannien Yes, they are reconstructions. -
@wellerstein Thanks, now I know.
