  1. If Zalman Shapiro can get the '2010 National Medal of Technology' for steeling 741 pounds of U.S. highly enriched uranium from Pennsylvania (suitable for weapons production) and diverting it to Israel, then why not Dr. Abdul Qadeer?
    :-P

    truths,
    Third reason, the group who should be giving the honor or medal is the slave of the master that hates Dr. Q. so forget it.

    I respect Dr. Q though much was done to malign him. He (in my opinion) is a hero for us.

    They(USA) gave medal(penalty) worth $3.75 million to a company that exported paint worth $32000 for Chasma Nuclear power plant..


    US fines Chinese firm for exporting paint to Chashma power plant

    The United States has fined the Chinese subsidiary of a US firm $3.75 million after it pleaded guilty to exporting high-performance coatings for a nuclear power plant in Pakistan.

    The penalty, $2 million in criminal and $1.75 million in civil fines, represents one of the largest fines for export violations in the history of the US Commerce Department`s security programme.

    “The fines are 100 times more than the gross proceeds generated by the unlawful export scheme,” said Ronald C. Machen, US Attorney for the District of Columbia.

    PPG Paints Trading (Shanghai) Co., Ltd., a wholly-owned Chinese subsidiary of the US-based PPG Industries, Inc., had only earned $32,319 from these exports, which was also forfeited.

    Besides paying the fines, the company also agreed to serve five years of corporate probation. Tuesday`s guilty plea stemmed from “the illegal export, re-export and / or transhipment of high-performance coatings from the United States to the Chashma 2 Nuclear Power Plant in Pakistan,” Attorney Machen said.

    The coatings were exported via a third-party distributor in the People`s Republic of China.

    Eric L. Hirschhorn, US Department of Commerce Under-Secretary for Industry and Security, said the company misled US authorities by claiming that the coatings were for a nuclear power plant in China, which would not require a licence.

    PPG Paints Trading was sentenced in accordance with the terms of the plea agreement by Judge Rosemary M. Collyer in District Court of Columbia.

    To ensure that the companies going forward maintain a commitment to US export controls compliance, the US Bureau of Industry and Security also required an audit of 2011 and 2012 export transactions of PPG and its relevant business units in the United States and China.

    The audit will include transactions related to restricted end-users on the agency`s Entity List and nuclear end-uses and end-users.

    The US Department of Justice pointed out that the detection of these illegal exports “emphasises the critical role that US parent companies play in monitoring the activities of their subsidiaries dealing in US-origin items that are subject to the Export Administration Regulations”.

    “This case also demonstrates our resolve to vigorously enforce US export law,” said Attorney Machen. “It should also serve as a warning to corporations that would violate US export laws.”

    Court documents identified Chashma 2 as a Pakistan Atomic Energy Commission power plant under construction near Kundian, in Punjab.

    The documents noted that the PAEC was the science and technology organisation in Pakistan responsible for nuclear programme, including the development and operation of nuclear power plants.

    In November 1998, following Pakistans first successful detonation of a nuclear device, the Commerce Departments Bureau of Industry and Security added the PAEC, as well as its subordinate nuclear reactors and power plants, to the list of prohibited end-users under the Export Administration Regulations.

    Had this theft taken place in pakistan they(west) would have gone bonkers and started blaming 'Islamic extremists' getting their hands on nukes and pakistan being an unstable and irresponsible state shouldn't be allowed to keep nukes and they would have sent black water type special ops which they always keep on standby in case they suspect pakistan 'falling in the hands of islamic extremists'

    PCs stolen from French N-power company

    French police say thieves have stolen two computers containing confidential information from a power company’s nuclear energy research site.

    Police say on Thursday the burglary — which was discovered by staff on Monday — took place at the Electricite de France office in Chatou west of Paris, even though it is protected by highly secure anti-theft systems. They suspect industrial espionage may be involved

  12. And here's more candidates for medals:
    Operators of the World’s Most Successful Atomic Smuggling Ring Worked for CIA

    A seven-year effort by the Central Intelligence Agency to hide its relationship with a Swiss family who once acted as moles inside the world’s most successful atomic black market hit a turning point on Thursday when a Swiss magistrate recommended charging the men with trafficking in technology and information for making nuclear arms.

    The prospect of a prosecution, and a public trial, threatens to expose some of the C.I.A.’s deepest secrets if defense lawyers try to protect their clients by revealing how they operated on the agency’s behalf. It could also tarnish what the Bush administration once hailed as a resounding victory in breaking up the nuclear arms network by laying bare how much of it remained intact.

    “It’s like a puzzle,” Andreas Müller, the Swiss magistrate, said at a news conference in Bern on Thursday. “If you put the puzzle together you get the whole picture.”

    The three men — Friedrich Tinner and his two sons, Urs and Marco — helped run the atomic smuggling ring of A. Q. Khan, an architect of Pakistan’s nuclear bomb program, officials in several countries have said. In return for millions of dollars, according to former Bush administration officials, the Tinners secretly worked for the C.I.A. as well, not only providing information about the Khan network’s manufacturing and sales efforts, which stretched from Iran to Libya to North Korea, but also helping the agency introduce flaws into the equipment sent to some of those countries.

    The Bush administration went to extraordinary lengths to protect the men from prosecution, even persuading Swiss authorities to destroy equipment and information found on their computers and in their homes and businesses — actions that may now imperil efforts to prosecute them.
    ...

    (Interesting isn't it that they scream 'bloody murder' only about Dr Khan while protecting the other three who by their own account are (more) guilty)
