How many people knew about the Brookhaven lab that built the first bombs? (And have you looked at where that lab was located?) John |

16 May 12 - 07:46 PM (#3351811) Subject: RE: BS: Kodak's reactor From: Janie For the record, Kodak did not have a nuclear reactor. They did have a very small amount of highly enriched uranium. They had built a device that emitted radiation and they were using the radiation emissions in projects and experiments. The amount of enriched uranium they possessed was not sufficient to sustain a nuclear reaction even if they had wanted to. While there are legitimate concerns in this day and age about the security of what are apparently many small amounts of weapons grade uranium legally and commercially owned by various business enterprises, let us refrain from sensationalism and keep our facts straight. |
