I deeply hope I'm misunderstanding something.

Nuclear radiation is the most deadly thing every, right.

Except, the machinists who fabricated the nuke cores did it by hand. Completely manual. With a grinder. Uranium dust.

The cores were handled without gloves, or protection. They were totally fine.

Recall, Galen Windsor...

The Nuclear Scare Scam - Galen Winsor eats uranium to prove its "harmless".

This is us right now... THE MONKEY/STEPLADDER EXPERIMENT

Really not a good idea. You should read what happened to Harry Daghlian and Louis Slotin. They each performed experiments on a plutonium core, and had an accident where the core went critical. The burst of radiation was fatal in each case.
