I believe that was called, 'Tickling the tigers tail'
Method was to take 2 sub critical massed, make a donut from one and a
donut hole sphere from the other.
Drop the sphere thru the hole on the donut, for an instant you have a
critical mass that will peg all the meters.
Brilliant young men in the 40's This was Manhattan Project fun and game
in the era, makes good reading.

I used to work with a guy who claimed to have worked at one of the
nuke labs back in the 50s. Someone in a class was demonstrating what
happens when you bring 2 pieces of some element (plutonium maybe, I
forget that detail) together closer and closer. The idea was that the
count would go higher and higher, then you move the pieces away from
each other, and watch the count as that process happens. Unfortunately
in some fashion the pieces got too close together, someone not in the
room saw a bright blue flash, and had an idea what had happened. Once
they were able to get in there, all the people in the room were dead
from the radiation.
It might be ByoolShytte, but it was a good story.

You could get wierd light coming through the walls and not cracks, but
the radiation level would be so high no one anywhere near would not live
for long.
