    Your overestimating the lethality of radiation. The “Demon Core” guy lasted 9 days. The firefighters from Chernobyl lasted a month. The only criticality events that I can find with immediate fatalities also involve steam explosions.

    For those who know, steam is scarier than radiation or fire.
