Kodak Ran Uranium-Based Research Device Under Rochester Lab for 31 Years
Kodak operated a uranium-fueled research device beneath its Rochester laboratory for three decades, using it to study materials and detect impurities. The machine was installed in 1975 and decommissioned in 2006. It drew public notice in 2012 after it was revealed to contain highly enriched uranium. A new Popular Mechanics report describes how the device generated neutrons through nuclear fission but could not maintain a self-sustaining chain reaction, distinguishing it from a standard nuclear reactor.
