The demon core was a sphere of plutonium that was involved in two fatal radiation accidents when scientists tested it as a fissile core of an early atomic bomb. It was manufactured by the Manhattan Project, the U.S. nuclear weapon development effort during World War II.

Demon Core. Demon Core (dt. „ Dämonen kern“) ist der Spitzname einer 89 mm großen, 6,2 kg schweren Plutonium -Kugel, die bei zwei Unfällen im Los Alamos National Laboratory einen überkritischen Zustand erreichte. Bei beiden Unfällen starben die auslösenden Wissenschaftler an den Folgen.
El Núcleo del Demonio ( Demon core, en inglés) fue el sobrenombre aplicado a una masa subcrítica de plutonio de forma esférica con un peso de 6,2 kg que accidentalmente alcanzó la masa crítica en dos eventos separados dentro del Laboratorio Nacional Los Álamos en los años 1945 y 1946.

26 de abr. de 2018 · New protocols meant an end to 'hands on' criticality experiments, with scientists forced to use remote control machinery to manipulate radioactive cores at a distance of hundreds of metres. They also stopped calling the plutonium core 'Rufus'. From then on, it was known only as the 'demon core'.
Daghlian was irradiated as a result of a criticality accident that occurred when he accidentally dropped a tungsten carbide brick onto a 6.2 kg bomb core made of plutonium–gallium alloy. This core, subsequently nicknamed the " demon core ", was later involved in the death of another physicist, Louis Slotin .
