It’s not exactly safe to handle, it’s just not acutely fatal until it’s supercritical. Plutonium forms an oxide that easily flakes off so handling any sized demon core is full of danger. Bump it against something, scratch it, or even if the environment is particularly humid the powder will get everywhere.
Ingesting or inhaling any of that oxide would result in a slow and very painful death.
