Try the International Spy Museum. I used to be the
Assistant Curator there. I know Bob Edwards did a
piece on the museum when they first opened.

Also, contact the geology department at the National
Museum of Natural History. They have radioactive
artifacts I believe. I worked on an exhibit for them a
long time ago.

The Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) also has a museum.
