"Light “brighter than a thousand suns” should have caused severe actinic retinitis to have blinded him permanently."
You're assuming that he was perceiving that visual phenomenon with his eyes. Why? A large dose of magnetism or radiation to the brain can stimulate the visual cortex, and he was probably perceiving that, not an actual visible light.
"Then the description of the”path of the beam” seems more like a description of science fiction."
I assure you it's not. There's a defined path along which a particle accelerator accelerates the beam of protons (or other particles), and that phrase is not inaccurate.
"Then “the insides of his head continued to burn” for another two years is either inaccurately stated or is another attempt at science fictioning."
You're making a lot of assumptions that are not supported by biology or medicine. The effects of radiation exposure can indeed continue for some years after exposure, as cells accumulate genetic damage, fail to reproduce, or are functionally impaired. In particular, I'm familiar with cutaneous radiation syndrome, the effects of which can continue for a good while.
