so he "nuked" her. Glad he isn't a politician.

Um.....he used radioactive material to assault a person. Should this not fall under some sort of terrorism statutes?

He should have been jailed for attempted murder. Japan is really going to the dogs.

From a Heath and Safety Sheet:

The hazard from I-125 is due to uptake to the thyroid. It is of particular concern when in the form of volatile sodium iodine.

AND

Handle volatile Sodium Iodide in fume hood.

The idiot seems to have put most of his colleagues at risk as well as the lady who was a target of his infantile behaviour.

Should have jailed him. I reckon if he were a lowly lab worker he would have been jailed.

Altria, ugh! I love it.

And yes, Leit, totally terroristic. But he's a native, so nod nod, wink wink, no-one's the wiser.

This is attempted murder. How can a suspended sentence be enough for someone who so clearly intended to cause serious bodily harm?

attempted murder, no punishment other than losing his job. ABSOLUTE DISGRACE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And the worst part is this guy will definitely get an Amakudari job at a local Shiyakushou or Board of Ed., collecting a salary for swilling back coffee and doing little else

I could see him doing this again.

I hope the victim gets superpowers as a result of this, and becomes "Bollock-ripper-off Woman"

could be a new Marvel Series and summer blockbuster (but total knackers) by 2011

Who cares if he got fired for it, he broke the law, I don't believe that his sentence should have been suspended at all.

Not too likely since he's only 35. He was barely mid-career before he tried to kill this woman. Still, while he may indeed be finished at this school, he stands a good chance of being hired again at another school. THEN he can proceed to retirement to collect the sweet bonuses.
