finally got tomodachi life the other day and created most of the van der linde gang bc i love (most of) them. so much has happened.
micah does not exist bc he does not deserve friendship and susan and uncle aren’t present bc i honestly couldn’t be bothered
john’s my “look alike” and javier was my second mii, they’re now almost always hanging out [eyebrow raise] (arthur and charles are the exact same)
javier likes window shopping and lost a rap battle to arthur
john thought that he was the most popular on the island (he was and he isn’t anymore bc abigail and arthur are top)
abigail and jack are best friends
arthur is friends with just about everyone
all the girls seem to like bill and i have to tell them no every time bc 1) it’s the worst matches and 2) he’s gay
i made kieran a girl bc he’s a little homo and he has ONE friend that he had a crush on (reverend swanson) and i had to break his heart bc WHY
bill has a strawberry hat and he actually likes it
arthur has a flower headband which he loves :]
dutch is self aware. he asked me my favorite game genre, i responded with rpgs, and he replied saying how they “always make [him] cry” like????
kieran is always asking for me to play with him and is honestly a sweetheart
sadie wanted to set mr pearson up with abigail????
tilly and lenny are dating

i’ve gotten a few requests to do this so here we go
LONG ramble under cut
the 1950s had a lot of improvement with nuclear technology in the US. so, the US military concocted three (3) major projects that they’d work on: a nuclear powered jet, a nuclear powered submarine, and a miniature reactor that would be used to power military bases. with the former two (2) being able to hypothetically run forever—or until food and other resources ran out—the reactors got less attention from the military and thus neglected.
from the beginning many of the reactors had problems due to this neglect, but we’re gonna focus on the SL-1 reactor specifically, of course. compared to chernobyl’s 211 control rods, the SL-1 reactor had five (5) with one (1) main rod that could turn the reactor on and off by itself, which would prove to be a problem. the control rods had a history of sticking and requiring more force to move them in and out. not only that, but the boron lining in the reactor was actively flaking off the more and workers used the reactor, so it would take less movement to start and stop the reactor. the men tasked with the reactor weren’t the best candidates for the job as most of their experience was measured in months. they were simple military men given the basic training and sent off to work. the three men that we’re gonna focus on now are john byrnes, richard “dick” legg, and richard mckinley.
all three of these men had some sort of “quirk” with them. byrnes was famously a hothead, which wasn’t helped with legg constantly pulling “pranks” on the other crewmen and setting off alarms to “startle” them. these two (2) men hated each other—getting into drunken fist fights on their off days—and their feud wasn’t alleviated when legg got the promotion that byrnes wanted. mckinley, on the other hand, was new to the job and was still trying to get familiar with everything.
late december, 1960, the SL-1 reactor was shut down for the holidays, aimed to be started up again in early january of 1961. these three (3) men would be tasked with starting it up before the night shift crew would start their shift.
approximately 9:00, on january 3rd of 1961, the local firefighters got the alarm that something was wrong with the reactor; however, they weren’t too worried as they had not one (1), but two (2) false alarms the same day—it was normal for the reactor. once the firefighters reached the reactor, they went through the motions. they grabbed a geiger counter and detected the amount of radiation in the building. it was off the charts—odd. they presumed that the geiger counter was just broken, so they grabbed another. it gave the same reading. there WAS something wrong with the reactor.
the men devised a plan of suiting up in protective suits that would—somewhat—reduce their radiation intake and going in teams of two (2) and only remain inside for a few minutes at most. the first (1st) group immediately found the first (1st) man, groaning in pain on he ground—he was obviously hit in the blast and actively dying. they relocated him to an ambulance where he would soon die. it wouldn’t be long before the second (2nd) man would be found next to the reactor and already dead. they retrieved his corpse too. however, the third (3rd) man was yet to be found. it wasn’t until the fourth (4th) or fifth (5th) team, i believe, when they would look up and find what they thought was a bundle of rags stuck to the ceiling. it was the third man. one of the control rods pierced his body through his shoulder and groin and pinned him to the ceiling above the destroyed reactor (he was pierced so bad that his testicle was stuck to his shoulder once the rod was removed).
you would think that it wouldn’t be too hard to retrieve his body, but you’d be wrong. since his body was right above the reactor, there was a multitude of problems with the retrieval process. if the corpse still had radioactive material on it—which it did—and it fell into the reactor, it could start it all up and create another incident. if the control rod that pinned him to the ceiling fell into the reactor, it could also start it up again. they would need a stretcher on a crane placed under the corpse and pry him off the ceiling.
the autopsies would prove to be difficult as the bodies were highly irradiated. only one man at the time has done an autopsy on an irradiated corpse: clarence lushbaugh. lushbaugh was the man that did the autopsy on cecil kelley and placed his brain in a mayonnaise jar (research the cecil kelley criticality accident for more info). lushbaugh and the scientists that helped him with the autopsy discovered that the men were originally misnamed, so there were other problems with figuring out who did it and motives (i’m not getting into that bc most of it was speculation).
probably the more difficult part for the scientists that worked on the bed was the burial process. all of the men that died had wives that wanted to have a proper funeral—one of which wanted her husband buried in a national cemetery—but that couldn’t be possible if the bodies were still highly irradiated as it could get more people injured. the bodies had to be placed in lead caskets and submerged in concrete.
the location of the incident is still barred off from the public bc it was SO irradiated. this incident is also one of the main reasons we have so many restrictions with nuclear power (like how a single control rod can’t turn the whole thing on and off by itself)
and there we have it, my silly little hyperfixation :)
i would also recommend kyle hill’s video on the incident again
youtube
“you’re autistic? you must have some cute hyperfixation like hello kitty or frogs!!”
no
i love radiation
i ESPECIALLY love the SL-1 incident and i can tell you all the few details available to my little neurodivergent brain

after i took photos of him and his horse, javier wandered off :(
i was out picking herbs when javier strolled up to me, checking up on me and asking if i wanted to ride back home with him (i obviously agreed)
i sat there for a second, thinking about how sweet it was that they sent HIM of all people: they know my love for him
and now the game glitched and he’s stuck following me around
i can’t interact with him at all, but arthur keeps looking over at him as he trails behind him and his horse
