The United Nuclear Corporation (UNC) was a diversified nuclear mining,[9] development,[10] and applications[11] company based out of the United States. Formed in 1961[10][12][13] as a joint venture between the Olin Mathieson Chemical Corporation, the Mallinckrodt Corporation of America, and the Nuclear Development Corporation of America,[10] the company is most well known today as the company behind the Church Rock uranium mill spill.[14][15] In 1996 the company was acquired by General Electric,[16] and remains to oversee the decommissioning of its former sites.
