Kodak ran uranium-based research device for 31 years beneath Rochester lab
Only The Times of India reports this: no contrast yet
None of the other outlets we follow has reported this story, so there are no versions to compare. If others publish it or data appear that test it, it will move to the comparison.
For 31 years, Kodak operated a uranium-based research device beneath its Rochester laboratory, using it to examine materials and detect impurities. Installed in 1975 and shut down in 2006, the machine attracted public attention in 2012 because it contained highly enriched uranium. A new Popular Mechanics report explains how the device produced neutrons through nuclear fission but could not sustain a chain reaction independently, making it different from a conventional nuclear reactor.
