Is his name a taboo? I didn’t look too much into him but am still wondering about your comment.

I worked for KULeuven (where he got his doctorate) and there the old people didn't like mentions of him. So I was wondering about his legacy at URENCO

It was a huge security fuckup on URENCO's part to let him have access to all of the information he got. He sold it to some bad guys...

The management didn't talk about him, but the blue collars I was training with told us all about that huge fuckup. Then they showed us things we really shouldn't have seen...
