No mention of the earlier XKCD mentioning the demon core? It's what set in motion my particular interest in nuclear accidents.
I don't agree with the author's analysis here. I think the demon core is simply memorable. It has a scary name and the beryllium sphere is iconic in a way the Kelley and SL-1 accidents simply aren't.
