Yes, the information was in Webb's 1949 paper, but it was not until the 1960's with the Ban the Bomb protests that people began to realize the danger of the above [and below] ground tests. After a few years all the test were banned world wide. Recently North Korea started making below ground tests. Even below ground tests still leak radiation into the environment. This information about the Kodak discovery has been openly discussed for at least twenty years that I am aware of.

I read a while back that a lot of old pre WWII shipwrecks are being plundered because the steel/metals in them are valuable since they have never been exposed to radiation, and they are used in highly sensitive instruments. Kind of interesting.

Correct.

They have been doing this for many years for constructing neutrino detectors.

A few unexpected places had nuclear reactors, a famous or perhaps infamous one here was the JASON reactor at the Royal Naval College in Greenwich London.
