I’ve always wondered about the radiation from those explosions. When they tested the Trinity bomb in New Mexico in 1945, the Kodak facility in Rochester NY 2000 miles away lost a full day’s production of photographic film. It took them a few weeks to figure out what was happening and they later got advanced warning from the Army whenever a test was scheduled. It does bring up a number of serious questions though.
Do you have a source for this incident?
Do you have a source for this incident?
FYI
Scientists from Tennessee Eastman Company, a Kodak chemical plant, were dispatched to be part of the team of engineers and scientists building the Oak Ridge facility that processed the uranium.
The father of my friend was an Eastman chemical engineer that wanted to be released so he could join the Navy. He was released and given a commission whereupon his duty station became Oak Ridge with his civilian Eastman colleagues
Perhaps some one visiting freom Rochester brought some radioactive material home
I gotta call BS on that. No way.
Good stuff!!!
