A newly released statement by former top Pakistani nuclear scientist and proliferator Abdul Qadeer Khan indicates that China in 1982 supplied his nation with a basic nuclear-weapon design and enough weapon-grade uranium to power two nuclear bombs, the Washington Post [2] reported today. (Ploughshares-funded experts agreed that while the information is not surprising and has long been suspected, it is significant to hear the story from Khan himself.) Beyond the Chinese-Pakistani exchanges outlined by Khan, "we are not aware of cases where a nuclear weapon state has transferred HEU to a non-nuclear country for military use," said Hans Kristensen [3], who directs the Federation of American Scientists' Nuclear Information Project [4].
