Demon Core. It was meant to be part of a third nuclear bomb to be dropped on Japan, but after their surrender, the core was used in two experiments which both killed several people via exposure to lethal doses of radiation.

It was used in hundreds of experiments, two of which killed the respective operator and injured others.
