Kodak has confirmed it used weapons-grade uranium and housed a fully functioning nuclear reactor in an underground lab near Greece, New York for 30 years, according to news reports.
And according to the Democrat and Chronicle, almost nobody in the community knew about it — until now.
The small nuclear reactor was housed in a 14- by 24-foot concrete room beneath the basement-level of Building 82 in Kodak Park.
Described as resembling Robby the Robot from a 1950s science fiction movie
by the Democrat and Chronicle, it contained 3.5 pounds of highly-enriched uranium.
A spokesman for the film and camera company and former scientist for the firm told CNN that such an amount was less than one-tenth of the amount necessary to make a crude nuclear device — via redwolf.newsvine.com
