My Comment: He may deny these IAEA claims .... but he did have a 30-year career at a secret Soviet nuclear weapons installation that specialized in making smaller versions of nuclear weapons .... especially creating high-precision detonators that could send a massive shock wave through a ball of weapons-grade uranium or plutonium, causing it to explode on cue.
