Really drives home the point that all that stands between a chemical and an explosion can be an impossibly small bit of activation energy.

It's called an"Industrial accident" girls and boys.
The difference, as with everything.
Its the SIZE that matters!
And it was only reported as a "loud pop"...

Luckily, most of us don't work with plutonium and it's alloys.

Funny that zirconium can be such a reactive monster given its chemical resistance under normal conditions.
