American Nuclear Corporation of Oak Ridge Tennessee is a company founded by Jim Wild, a former employee of Oak Ridge Associated Universities (then the Oak Ridge Institute for Nuclear Studies). While American Nuclear produced a small line of detectors, their main business was the production of radioactive sources. In the late 1960s, contamination was detected in the Clinch River upstream from Oak Ridge and this contamination was traced to leaking tanks at American Nuclear. The state revoked the company's license and then took control of the property. | ||||
