  • Tickling the Sleeping Dragon's Tail: Should We Resume Nuclear Testing?
    TICKLING THE SLEEPING DRAGON’S TAIL Should We Resume Nuclear Testing? National Security Report Michael Frankel | James Scouras | George Ullrich TICKLING THE SLEEPING DRAGON’S TAIL Should We Resume Nuclear Testing? Michael Frankel James Scouras George Ullrich Copyright © 2021 The Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory LLC. All Rights Reserved. “Tickling the sleeping dragon’s tail” is a metaphor for risking severe consequences by taking an unnecessary provocative action. Its origin can be traced to the last year of the Manhattan Project at Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) in 1946. When investigating the critical mass of plutonium, LANL scientists usually brought two halves of a beryllium reflecting shell surrounding a fissile core closer together, observing the increase in reaction rate via a scintillation counter. They manually forced the two half-shells closer together by gripping them through a thumbhole at the top, while as a safety precaution, keeping the shells from completely closing by inserting shims. However, the habit of Louis Slotin was to remove the shims and keep the shells separated by manually inserting a screwdriver. Enrico Fermi is reported to have warned Slotin and others that they would be “dead within a year” if they continued this procedure. One day the screwdriver slipped, allowing the two half-shells to completely close, and the increased reflectivity drove the core toward criticality. Slotin immediately flipped the top half-shell loose with a flick of the screwdriver, but by then he had endured
