A guy claims to have taken pics in the Dimona facility and smuggled them out Here's the link, but I had to get the pics from an archived copy of the web page. http://www.nonviolence.org/vanunu/photos.html Some photos attached. DimonaNukeCore1 - self explanatory DimonaNukeCore2 - self explanatory DimonaPlutoniun Plant - Plant used to separate Pu from reactor fuel (probably using PUREX chemical sep process) DimonaPlutoniumLathe - Lathe (in glovebox) used to machine metallic Pu into core components "Once we got to the point where twenty/something's needed a place on the corner that changed the oil in their cars we were doomed . . ." -NickDG Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's well known that Israel has nukes. Just interesting pics (if real), because Israel is very secretive re nuke weapons.

mccallj 0 #5 November 19, 2007 These are way old. Ive seen some better pictures but it has been a while. The secret of Israeli nukes is like the secret of the airforce base at Groom Lake, its not really a secret to the world but the government wont officially acknowledge it.“Last week I helped my friend stay put. It's a lot easier than helping someone move. I just went over to his house and made sure that he did not start to load his shit into a truck.” Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What pictures other than Vanunu's 1985 ones showing *inside* the Dimona complex have you seen? I'm really curious! Quote The secret of Israeli nukes is like the secret of the airforce [sic] base at Groom Lake, its not really a secret to the world but the government wont officially acknowledge it. Ummm ... I think that was kind of the point of the post. In the case of Israel, it's called "strategic ambiguity" or "intentional ambiguity."
