"Over the years, Dr. DeVolpi and DOE security officials have clashed repeatedly over the contents of his publications, which officials say have sometimes revealed classified information. Following his publication of an encyclopedia article on nuclear weapons a few years ago, DOE went so far as to seize his personal computer and seal his files, until the Secretary of Energy intervened and apologized," Quote from the Secrecy & Government Bulletin, Federation of American Scientists, 57 (1996).
