Ames (Iowa) http://www.external.ameslab.gov, employs 400, budget $30million (2008) [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ames_Laboratory]
“About”:  Ames Laboratory is a government-owned, contractor-operated research facility of the U.S. Department of Energy that is run by Iowa State University.
For more than 60 years, the Ames Laboratory has sought solutions to energy-related problems through the exploration of chemical, engineering, materials, mathematical and physical sciences. Established in the 1940s with the successful development of the most efficient process to produce high-purity uranium metal for atomic energy, the Lab now pursues a broad range of scientific priorities, etc.
