Kodak's Secret Nuclear Reactor

I bet there are a few µSv or more ricocheting around this place:

Here:
Kodak Park had a nuclear reactor

And here:
Kodak had a weapons grade nuclear reactor in a basement

I've been hearing a few stories similar to this one lately.

Apparently there were quite a few "nuclear facilities" of various types in the US and Canada that are now defunct, but radiation levels remain elevated in the area. Some of those facilities were in or near rural towns, but most were hush-hush and details are only just coming out. I've been trying to dig up some reliable details myself, but haven't gotten very far along on that little project.

I doubt this is true. Their claim of "weapons-grade" is that the Uranium in the reactor was enriched. They do not say enriched to what percentage. Uranium in normal reactors is also enriched. Weapons-grade Uranium is highly enriched.
