Kodak Had Weapons Grade Uranium In Basement, But Don't Worry

I think this deserves more than WTF - like HOLY FUCKING SHIT!!! Yes, Kodak (who is going bankrupt) owned a nuclear reactor with weapons grade uranium in a basement in Rochester, New York. A freakin' BASEMENT! Even stranger, no one except for a few people, thankfully some federal employees, knew about it! They used it to check materials for impurities and the amount is not enough to create a nuclear bomb. Though tightly regulated by the government, you can legally own a small amount of uranium.

In fact, you can buy some from Amazon! It is low on radioactivity and perfectly safe (so they say).
