Mixing fissile material in a bucket?

I might have expected this in the old USSR, but not in Japan.

We will never know how many times this type of accident happened in the old USSR.

The problem was not the stainless steel bucket.

The problem was putting 16 kg of material in it and then adding a water-based liquid. This is almost a guaranteed criticality incident.

(I once worked in the nuclear industry.)
