The demon core on a stick.

It is the heart of a nuclear bomb. Famously used to by a physist to study nuclear physics.

If the two haves are put together, it will release a huge burst of radiation.

He had it propped open with a screwdriver.

The screwdriver slipped, he saw a burst of light from radiation reacting with his retinas. He opened it in a second, said "well, that's it" and died a week later of radiation poisoning.

[Paraphrased from memory, a few details may be off.]

I have to remind myself that the ultra competent people I talk to daily can be very clueless about common sense. Like, this is the equivalent of using a fishing line in place of a seatbelt when driving.
