  • In real life the demon core was involved in two fatal radiation accidents when scientists tested it as a fissile core of an early atomic bomb. It was manufactured in 1945 by the Manhattan Project, the U.S. nuclear weapon development effort during World War II. The core was later destroyed.
  • The screwdriver is a reference to Louis Slotin's deadly incident with the core.
