So I worked in a 10 mile long underground facility, that would kill you in 30s when on (from X-rays and gamma rays). Once it was closed and searched--a full day process, any access required removing one of 6 keys from a an interlock bank. That key was required to get through a double door system in which only one door could open at a time w/o canceling the "searched" interlock. When you exited, the key was returned to the bank. Any screwups, and the search interlock was canceled (the day long search required check ins along the way at certain time intervals--you can not fake it).
In the event that a human got inside, when in operation, there were red sirens every twenty feet (you cannot tell the machine is one, otherwise)...and under each red sirens was a big a$$ shutoff button that killed everything---and probably cost $1,000,000 of damage (idk, these thing have a lot of inductance)...but, it's better than a fatality.
I also worked at LANL, where there was a (unclassified) device (simulating neutrons from a nuclear weapon), that if you saw it when on, you died. There was a mirror system to look at, no camera could survive the radiation. I didn't work on it, tho--just in the tunnel when it was under shutdown maintenance. I do recall a sign that said "30,000 RAD/hr at this location when in operation". I think 500 RAD is LD-50, iirc. So you had 60 seconds to live, if you got in there..and then 2 weeks to die if you got it turned off "in time".
