	Why No Objection To Israel's WMD?
		The most dangerous thing is that Israel is allowed to possess all kinds of weapons of mass destruction while Arab countries are denied these weapons under the pretext that Israel is under threat.
		Israel has said that it is not yet time to look at its nuclear arsenal and weapons of mass destruction because it has not yet attained permanent security and peace.
		Israel was ready to produce its first nuclear bomb as early as 1965.

	Dimona, Israel
		Dimona is an Israeli city in the Negev desert, 36 kilometers to the south of Beer-Sheva and 35 kilometers west of the Dead Sea in the Southern District of Israel.
		Currently, Dimona is the third largest city in the Negev, with the population of 31,200 (1995 estimate).
		Dimona's reactor was defended by batteries of Patriot missiles in anticipation of strikes from Iraq in 2002–3.

	Israel and weapons of mass destruction - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Israel insisted the material was non-toxic, was to have been used to test filters that protect against chemical weapons, and that it had been clearly listed on the cargo manifest in accordance with international regulations.
		Israel is not a signatory to the Biological Weapons Convention (BWC).
		Israel is alleged to have a possible biological weapons facility at the Israel Institute for Biological Research in Ness Ziona.

	Mordechai Vanunu - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Vanunu was released from prison in 2004, subject to a broad array of restrictions on his speech and movement.
		Most worldwide intelligence agencies estimate that Israel developed nuclear weapons as early as the 1960s, but the country has purposely maintained a "policy of deliberate ambiguity", neither acknowledging nor denying that it possesses the weapons.
		Wilson was allowed to return to Israel on March 12 after signing an apology letter acknowledging that he defied the law [13].

		Mordechai Vanunu, Israel's nuclear whistleblower, was jailed in 1986 for publishing photographs of Israel's nuclear bomb factory at Dimona.
		Israel never confirms or denies claims that it has nuclear, chemical and biological weapons.
		Forty-year-old reactors tend to have accidents and he believes that Dimona, which is beyond the reach of the Israeli parliament, needs to be brought into a system of accountability and public scrutiny.

	Israeli A-Bombs and Norwegian Heavy Water: Arms Control Through Public Pressure
		Israel was not made to account for the plutonium that it had already produced with the heavy water--now the backbone of Israel's substantial nuclear arsenal.
		Israel rejected this request in April, stating that it would be impossible to distinguish Norwegian heavy water from stocks received from other sources.
		Israel maintained that 10.5 tons were all that remained of the original purchase after operating losses at Dimona.

	Israel's Nuclear Weapons Program
		Israel is believed to possess the largest and most sophisticated arsenal outside of the five declared nuclear powers.
		Israel produces uranium domestically as a by-product of phosphate mining near the Dead Sea but this amounts to only 10 tons a year, and is grossly insufficient for its needs.
		Israel also possesses medium-range ballistic missiles: the Jericho-1 (Ya-1 "Luz") with a 500 kg payload, and a range of 480-650 km (operational since 1973); and the Jericho 2 (either Ya-2 or Ya-3) with a 1000 kg payload and a range of over 1500 km (operational since 1990).

	Dimona - Israel Special Weapons Facilities
		The Dimona nuclear reactor, in operation since early 1965, is the source of plutonium for Israeli nuclear weapons.
		The number of nuclear weapons that could have been produced by Israel can be estimated on the basis of the power level of this reactor.
		The cooling towers associated with the Dimona reactor are clearly visible and identifiable in satellite imagery.

		Israel might be considered the only state that opposes to the inspection visits conducted by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) all over the world, added to its rejection, until this very day, to sign the treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons, which was signed by all Arab states.
		The simplest radiation leak resulting from Dimona reactor is that of the depleted Uranium, which is of catastrophic implications, as it is considered one of the heavy elements that ruin kidney, liver and respiratory system functions, leading to death.
		Moreover, Israel isn't affected by this waste because it was buried opposite to the flow of aquifer water," Abu Safiya narrated.

	Israel: Plutonium Production
		Israel convinced France to make the reactor's critical components--including its cooling circuit--three times larger than needed for a facility of its nominal size, and three times larger than originally agreed upon.
		Israel probably needed the additional uranium for the first scale-up, which appears to have occurred in 1970.
		If the reactor at Dimona was unusually efficient (i.e., producing more than 1 gram of plutonium per megawatt day) and ran for as many as 300 days per year, the 40 kilograms could have been produced with a peak power of sightly more than 100MWt.

	U.S. Scientists' Visit to Israel's Dimona Reactor
		The two scientists were informed that Israel's decision to expand nuclear development beyond the laboratory research stage was taken in 1957 with the appointment of a committee, which first considered and then rejected because of its expense the establishment of two large reactors for production of industrial power.
		Israel's obsession with secrecy is regrettable, but perhaps understandable in view of Israel's physical and political circumstances.
		Israel's reasons for secrecy include: (a) a possible boycott by the Arabs of manufacturers on whom Israel depends, (b) proximity of the reactor to international borders with vulnerability to sabotage, and (c) conviction that Arab awareness of Israel's scientific capability would not be in Israel's national interest.

		Israel has yet to be determined whether he will continue to be under some sort of incarceration or house arrest or will be released now that his sentance is nearly complete.

		Israel's former Prime Minister Shimon Peres, widely regarded as the architect of Israel's nuclear weapons programme, testified at the trial that Vanunu had done serious damage to Israel's security.
		He warned that Israel's belief that it was safer because it possessed such weapons was false, as other Middle Eastern countries felt threatened by their presence.
		And he urged Israel and its neighbours to begin talks on halting the spread of nuclear weapons in the Middle East.

		It has long been reported that Dimona is defended from aerial attack by a battery of Hawk anti-aircraft missiles, and a complex possibly associated with such defenses is evident in the satellite imagery.

	Israel's Dimona Reactor
		Israel hopes to have a power reactor in due course, perhaps in ten years but possibly no sooner than fifteen years.
		Israel is producing only experimental quantities of heavy water and of uranium from phosphate.
		While Israel accepts the general principle of international safeguards to assure the peaceful use of atomic energy, it believes also in equality; thus it does not propose to open the Dimona reactor to international inspection until such inspection applies to comparable reactors everywhere.

		DIMONA, Israel (CNN) -- Israel's nuclear reactor was built with the help of the French more than 40 years ago near the town of Dimona in the Negev Desert.
		In the early years of Israel, a nuclear capability was seen as an insurance policy against a second Holocaust -- the ultimate weapon for a country surrounded by hostile Arab neighbors.
		It is believed that Israel has gone on full nuclear alert three times: on the eve of the Six Day War in 1967, during the 1973 Yom Kippur War, and for the entire Gulf War in 1991.

		Despite these assurances, the FAS report has reinforced previous perceptions of Israel posing a constant threat to the region due to the fact that its nuclear facilities were never opened to international inspection.

		Kelly recognised that the Dimona reactor was a French design, and he very soon discovered where the heavy water needed to operate it had come from.
		Israel paid the top price - Â£1m - to avoid having to give guarantees that the material would not be used to make nuclear weapons, but the papers leave no doubt that Britain knew all along that Israel wanted the heavy water "to produce plutonium".
		Chief of the challengers was Michael Israel Michaels (such was his middle name, literally), who was a senior official at the science ministry under Lord Hailsham during the Macmillan government, and went on to serve at the technology ministry under Benn.
