==== The "Blue Flash" Incident of 1960 ====
Only a few years after the formation of the Tuvarian Nuclear Research Collective, the original team was already going to the big guns with direct tests on radioactive material. The first test designated "Spark-01" was the first to use direct contact by two human subjects (prior to this there was no direct contact, but sensors were used to collect data.). On the day of the test, Alexei Navelov and Alexander Tucic entered the chamber. The chamber had walls of 2 feet thick Steel followed by 1 and a half feet of concrete and was made to be fully soundproof. In front of Navelov and Tucic was a block of pure Uranium sitting in a lead infused steel cradle. Navelov was instructed to grab the sphere using a set of clamps and was told to carry it over to another cradle across the room. As he lifted the heavy sphere up, he turned to quickly and the sphere was dropped with a thump. When Navelov attempted to pick it up again, a blue flash penetrated the room and Navelov and Tucic were blinded almost immediately. They were evacuated from the room but died of radiation poisoning and burns the following afternoon.
