He obtained engineer's degree in technology and joined the
Catholic University of Leuven(belgium) for his doctoral
studies.
6. RESEARCH IN EUROPE
Receiving his doctorate engineering , Urenco offered him to
join the senior staff of the Physics Dynamics Research
Laboratory
Dr.Khan left the Physics Laboratory where he performed
physics experiments on uranium metallurgy,
Urenco gave Dr.Khan access to the blueprints for the Zippe
centrifuge to find mathematical solutions for the physics
problems in the gas centrifuges.
7. BOMB PROJECT
The patriotic Dr. Abdul Qadeer Khan contacted Mr.
Bhutto and offered his expertise to build a nuclear bomb.
In 1976, with full command over the uranium-enrichment
technology known to the Western world.

Nishan -e-Imtiaz.
To his research and development in nuclear science,
He also made contributions in social welfare and
altruism.
May Allah SWT grant him good health and long life .
