Imaging company Kodak had a secret nuclear reactor - loaded with weapons-grade uranium.
Reports reveal the facility, hidden in an office basement in Rochester, New York (United States), had the same sort of enriched uranium used in atomic warheads.
Following the leak by a former employee, Kodak officials have now revealed that they never acknowledged the reactor's existence in public and only very few engineers and American federal officials knew of its existence.
The state of New York does not even have records claiming there was an actual nuclear reactor containing weapons-grade plutonium nearby.
Website Gizmodo quoted Miles Romper from the Center for Nonproliferation Studies in Washington as saying:
"It's such an odd situation because private companies just don't have this material."
The report also said the company kept the reactor to 'check materials for impurities as well as neutron radiography testing'.
