Doing this on the property of most nuclear laboratories would probably be considered an incident. If a nuclear physicist employed at a national lab or major university did this at home and was discovered they would probably lose their job. I just find it interesting that doing this is in some ways more accessible to the general public than to people who might have some reason to experiment with this without being nuclear chemists.
