"Atomic Ed and the Black Hole" is a documentary released in 2002 [ [http://www.vdb.org/smackn.acgi$tapedetail?ATOMICEDAN Video Data Bank: Atomic Ed and the Black Hole ] ] by filmmaker, Ellen Spiro.

“Atomic Ed” (Ed Grothus) is a machinist-turned-atomic junk collector who more than 30 years ago quit his job of making atomic bombs and began collecting non-radioactive high-tech nuclear waste discarded from the Los Alamos National Laboratory.

Atomic Ed is the proprietor of the “The Black Hole”, a second-hand shop and, next door, curator of the unofficial museum of the nuclear age. His collection reveals and preserves the history of government waste that was literally thrown in a trash heap.
