  Funny, that happened at los alamos again. That place really doesn't have a good record

    That was 2 separate "demon core" incidents, about a year apart...so they clearly didn't learn much from the first one.

      And at the time, Los Alamos was essentially the only place in the country -- probably the world -- doing that kind of research. So it's not really surprising that both incidents occurred there.
