Thanks, I will read more about him. Was not aware.

To add on to what the other comments said, when the screwdriver slipped and the shell closed completely briefly, making the ball go critical, they all knew what happened and he immediately asked everyone in the room to note their position and calculated the approximate radiation dose they each got up figure out who was going to slowly melt into goo over the next few days and who was going to die of cancer over the years.

He knew right away that he was one of the goo ones.

So I'm not sure I'd call that heroic discovery because they already knew what would happen and were just showing off how much balls they had fucking with something so deadly.
