Title: Kodak kept a neuclear reactor in a basement in NY for 30 years.

What's in the basement? Oh, nothing special, sir. Just some highly-enriched uranium. Oh, and a small nuclear reactor.

So, now that we know that Kodak was secretly performing nuclear experiments, which other commercial companies do you think are producing atomic weapons in their basements?  ;D

wow. This is somewhat troubling considering that any number of commercial businesses could have the same thing under their own buildings. Even if they aren't pumping out enough energy to light just one bulb, the effects of a 'dirty bomb' would be disastrous.

Maybe it was just their ghost containment grid.

For more than 30 years, the company used the research reactor, a californium neutron flux multiplier (CFX), to "check chemicals and other materials for impurities" and "for tests related to neutron radiography, an imaging technique,"

It does sound legit (I'm not a photography master, but I do know that radiography is related to some forms of image capturing, which a photo company would be interested in). >:O
