We have this insanely dangerous and radioactive thing, and we need to move it somehow? Screwdriver goes brrrrr.
I assume everyone was wearing safety squints and flipflops.
They weren't moving it, they were lowering a reflector to bring it close to criticality without going supercritical. It's like playing Russian roulette, except the game is to squeeze the trigger on a fully loaded revolver until just before the hammer releases, and you're using a screwdriver to squeeze the trigger. Oh! And the pistol is actually a grenade.
