[ RadSafe ] nuclear weapons impact thread

[Thomas Potter]

Damage to film was the initial mode of fallout detection at Kodak, as noted
at the following website:

As related by Dr. G. Hoyt Whipple, an early HP who participated in the
investigation and who later directed the radiation protection program at the
University of Michigan for many years, the source was initially a mystery.

Actually, since they manufacture xray film they likely have detectors for
calibrations and QA checks on the xray machines they use to QA check their
film product production, along with R&D on same.  I believe they also used
to make dosimetry film, so they would have other radioactive material
sources for dosimetry testing and calibrations.  They'd have detectors to
manage those as well.
