Reminds me of a story where some egghead friend of mine had a friend that was a researcher at a state school in California.

In his research, he found something like getting unenriched uranium to react (please excuse my complete lack of familiarity with the subject).

Apparently some government agency stepped in, classified his research and asked him to start.

Makes me where else this might have happened - there must be some interesting stuff out there.
