Sure. That's why brain surgery costs so much.
I have done some contract work in places that make nuclear weapons. You need something like $10 million in liability insurance to get in the door. I had an armed escort at all times, even in the bathroom. No cell phones anywhere. The company I was working for made machines that actually made plastic explosives for the detonator of the nukes.
You can basically name a price. But, what a pain in the ass. I've heard of facilities where you cannot bring in any tools. Others where you can't leave at night, you stay there until the job is done. I heard about a guy who worked on some machines at a US mint facility. You can't even wear your own clothes inside.
My dad worked at Hanford Nuclear reservation from 46 to 68, we never knew what he did other than he was a sign painter. He couldn't talk about it, until about the last year before he died.
He had some very interesting things to tell. He would bring home ammo boxes sometimes and leave them in the bathroom, we figured out later those were for urine samples when he was
contaminated. We found a box of papers after he died that verified he was contaminated 13 times. He lettered the fail safe system on the process he had a high security clearance. When he was diagnosed
with cancer the surgeons opened him up and closed him up, the tumor was the size of a football.
