Growing up in Grand Rapids MI (home of RB Chaffee) I know the story well and there’s no way I’ll ever risk listening to anything containing the actual event.
Sadly, “rules” and the way we do things now are sometimes paved with the bodies of the less fortunate.
Here in Los Alamos NM we have more than a few plaques scattered about our 40-ish sq miles of lab space commemorating folks that made traumatic discoveries. I think we had like five or six die in a week or so back in the 1950s from unforeseen behaviors of explosives. From those very same accidents there are industry standards now for handling explodey-stuff.
We also demonstrated how not to deal with critical masses of nuclear material (Slotin, the Demon Core and all of that). I may well be wrong but those events might be the last criticality accidents with solid metal. Solutions are different and a little more difficult (see even the Japan event in the 1990s).
