Japan university taught nuclear know-how to student from Iran lab
SENDAI —
Tohoku University graduate school taught an Iranian student, who had belonged to an institute suspected of involvement in Tehran’s nuclear weapons development, about technology related to reprocessing spent nuclear fuel, according to the state-run university. After learning about technology for taking rare metal from highly radioactive liquid waste generated during nuclear fuel reprocessing, the student went back to Iran. But the university denies the possibility that what he learned may lead to the development of weapons of mass destruction.
