Kyle Hill | The Demon Core: The True Story (1946)

In 1946, a P-239 plutonium core scheduled for detonation-by-nuclear-bomb was harmlessly melted down and reintegrated into the United States’ nuclear stockpile.

That was the end of a 14-pound metallic sphere that had killed two scientists not 11 months before.


This is the true story of the Demon Core.
