Title: Photo company Kodak has nuclear reactor, enough material for A-bomb
Post by: Cain on May 17, 2012, 09:09:04 PM
Not even joking

http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/kodak-reveals-it-had-secret-nuclear-reactor-for-30-years-7754328.html

QuoteThe company that gave us the Instamatic has acknowledged that for 30 years it operated a small nuclear reactor in a basement on its corporate campus in Rochester, New York, unbeknown to almost everyone save a few scientists and engineers.

Kodak, which began operating the device, called a californium neutron flux multiplier (CFX), in 1974, insists there was nothing unsafe about it.

None the less, it came pre-loaded with nearly 1.5kg of uranium enriched up to a level of 93.4 per cent, which is just about right for an atomic warhead.

Goddamn I love living in the future.

More and more it strikes how we are living in a cyberpunk reality.

BREAKING NEWS: The U.S. is now considering a war with Kodak, unless they promise to dismantle their nuclear program. "Let there be no doubt: America is determined to prevent Kodak from getting a nuclear weapon, and I will take no options off the table to achieve that goal," says President Obama.

Don't be silly.  Disney runs on cold fusion powered by the tears and screams of children.

here's actually been stories going around for years that they capture whole ethnic families and keep them as slaves in a network of tunnels under that place.

Sounds like urban legend, but if Kodak has nukes... :horrormirth:

Well, if any company was going to develop a nuclear weapon I suppose it makes sense that it is Kodak.   ;)

They are plotting their revenge on digital camera companies, im sure.

Would make for a nice James Bond movie plot.
