Kodak Had a Nuclear Reactor in NY for Nearly 30 Years

[citation][nom]joytech22[/nom]Wow, that's pretty cool.If a camera company could make a nuclear reactor, what has Apple been doing...?Mwahahaw.. (Just kidding)[/citation]

*joke*

Headline "Apple unveils new iNuke, available at an Apple Store near you!"

That's just so cool. And frightening in some ways. The fact that some company can make a reactor and not be known scares me a bit.

There are quite a few privately owned nuclear reactors. For instance, when you go get a PET scan or something similar, they inject radioactive dyes into your body so they show up on the scanners. Where do you think these radioactive dyes come from? Walgreens? There are several companies that produce these medicines, and they have nuclear reactors.

kodak should be running the pentagon, apparently they know how to keep vital stuff a secret!

London has New York beaten on that one as Greenwich (London) was the home of the Royal Navy's Department of Nuclear Science and Technology. They had a reactor in labs for 37 years from 1962 until it was decomm'ed in 1999.

I get voted down for just stating the truth sigh....
Some of you are more worried about a nuclear reactor in another country/city yet half the chemicals in your cudboard is probably more dangerous to you and your families own health!

[citation][nom]beayn[/nom]What other companies have secret nuclear reactors in their basements? This is a photo company, not one you'd think would have such a thing. I doubt Kodak security was military grade. If someone wanted, they probably could have stolen the enriched uranium for a bomb.[/citation]Just because it's enriched uranium doesn't mean it's weapons grade uranium. That's exactly why we can't say that Iran's uranium enrichment plants have anything to do with weapons.

[citation][nom]nebun[/nom]do you really believe that they broke it down?....you are so gullible......you must also believe it when the government tells you that Area 51 does not exist[/citation]They didn't break it down because they got "caught", they broke it down because it was no longer beneficial to their business. So yes, I think they broke it down.

And I think we all know Area 51 exists and they test military aircraft there. It's not much of a secret.

2.5 pounds of enriched uranium isn't gonna make a bomb...
It isn't even gonna make a meltdown....
The worst it will do is get really really hot, then fizzle out quicker than me doing my wife after watching a porno....
The other scenario is making a dirty bomb out of it.... but since it's fuel that has already been irradiated in a reactor, it will already be toxic to the bomb makers, rendering them dead before they could even walk out with the stuff.... That is, if they had figured out a way to chisel thru 2 foot thick concrete walls, then cut thru steel that is just as thick, all without being caught.....

The ignorance of some of the posts on this is amazing...
It's no wonder why alot of people want to send us back to the stoneage....
