According to a spokesman for the Nuclear Regulatory Commission,Kodak’s uranium was highly enriched – to a level approaching 93.4%That is the type of weapons-grade material that U.S. government agencies are trying to prevent terrorists from getting their hands on.(For the sake of comparison, Iran claims to have enriched uranium to 20%, leading Western nations to impose sanctions on the country in an effort to prevent Iran from pursuing further enrichment.)

This is from 2012, but it really is shocking to me because I lived there my whole life just about, & majority of my family members worked there their whole lives, but I have NEVER heard about this. They apparently gave it back to the Government in 2007.
You'd think that would have been a topic at Sunday dinners, but nope.
I mean, don't get me wrong, I always just assumed they had shit like that since they can hide it so damn easily among all of their side hustles. But of course 2007/08 is around the time my life went to shit, so I may have missed it.
