Iran Seeks Nuke Bomb "Booster" from Russia
(Reuters) Louis Charbonneau - Iranian agents are negotiating with a Russian company to buy deuterium gas that can boost nuclear explosions in atomic weapons, according to an intelligence agency report citing "knowledgeable Russian sources." It is not illegal for Iran to purchase deuterium, but it should be reported to the IAEA. The report said purchase talks were in the final stages, adding that Iran had tried to produce deuterium-tritium gas - with the help of Russian scientists - but had so far failed.
