ABOUT DIMONA


"Dimona should be open to international inspections, should be shut down because it is past its age, beyond 25-30 years, it is now 40 years working. If the U.S. is looking for nuclear weapons in the Middle East, or a nuclear factory, it is here in Israel." -vmjc

"The plant's [Dimona] infrastructure is worn out, and this risks sparking incidents. It's a matter of the concrete shell which cannot be changed and the reactor's cooling pipes, which are worn out due to neutron bombardment." -Dr. Uzi Even, Feb 2000
