Born Secret: Automatic Inception Classification of Nuclear Information Under the Atomic Energy Act of 1954 and Its Impact on Patents, Publications, and UAP-Related Research
To the point
Born secret is a legal rule under the Atomic Energy Act that automatically classifies certain nuclear information as Restricted Data the moment it is created, regardless of markings or who produced it, and it can block publication, patents, and research because of the dangerous potential it could enable, as illustrated by John Aristotle Phillips' confiscated term paper on a workable atomic bomb.
