In the midst of controversy over the Israeli prime minister's plans to address Congress next month, a researcher has won the release of a decades-old Defense Department report detailing the U.S. government's extensive help to Israel in that nation's development of a nuclear bomb.
"I am struck by the degree of cooperation on specialized war making devices between Israel and the US," said Roger Mattson, a former memer of the Atomic Energy Commission technical staff.
The 1987 report, "Critical Technology Assessment in Israel and NATO Nations," compares the key Israeli facilities developing nuclear weapons to Los Alamos and Oak Ridge National Laboratories, the principal U.S. laboratories that developed the bomb for the United States.
The tightly held report notes that the Israelis are "developing the kind of codes which will enable them to make hydrogen bombs. That is, codes which detail fission and fusion processes on a microscopic and macroscopic level."

Yes. The gloves are off.
If you recall, he did approximately the same thing to Great Britain in his first term, gave Russia all the dope on nukes in the British arsenal.
Once we verified they no longer had a nuke program they were allowed to buy F-16’s. . .and like before, they pay up-front and will lose bucks and jets if they again activate a nuke development program.
At this point if anyone does not believes obama is aiding the terrorist, they are lying to themselves. He doesn’t care anymore who knows.
He is intentionally straining if not out right destroying
our relation with all of our ally’s. There is no doubt, the
Obama is doing everything he can to destroy this country.
He is an enemy of the state and every American. But he’s
just a puppet.
Civilized countries have no problem building these bombs. South Africa had them. India & Pakistan have them and it would be quite surprising if Taiwan has not put one together and tested it. It might come in handy some day dealing with Red China.
A: What, we have some left?
He just hates our nukes.
Then again, there is the matter of the missing hard drive full of NEST data at Los Alamos during the Clinton regime...
Absolutely 100% correct. Thanks to Teller and Oppenheimer, we were given a weapon that is almost pure radiation that goes all the way thru the planet to the core (so underground shelters are useless). It simply vaporizes all organic life forms that are fauna based (animals and people) without destroying buildings or flora (plants). The radiation goes away enough in about four days for the area to be occupied without fear of radiation poisoning. You can limit the dispersal by adjusting the altitude at which the weapon is detonated and by the size. Local populations would only have to evacuate (and take livestock and pets) for a short time before they could move right back. So why did Jimmy (Peanut Brain) Carter remove that weapon from the arsenal of Freedom? He had our stockpiles eradicated.
I hesitate to correct you on this because it sounds like this is a deeply held belief. I am not sure where you are getting your information... but it is inaccurate, greatly exaggerated and worst of all it just makes you sound silly.
Neutron radiation has no electrical charge and the particles vary in size... so shielding does create some interesting challenges. Effective shielding generally requires a composite structure with elements of both high and low atomic numbers. But neutron radiation does not penetrate to the core of the earth and underground shelters can still be effective. It also does not vaporize animals while leaving plants intact.
I am not a nuclear scientist but for years I was one of the leaders of a big city hazmat team and we spent a great deal of time studying nuclear threats. You should go ahead and do a little more research... and probably not on the websites that gave you this phony information.
When I attended the Nuclear Biological and Chemical Warfare school during my time as an officer on active duty, we never were briefed on this weapon, we concentrated on chemicals and the aftermath of nuke strikes, like Effective Downwind Drift and RAD absorption, etc. But I kinda sorta do trust what the old guy said, although I do know that as he entered his late 80's he was a little bit um scattered in his memories and knowledge base. His degree was an SC.D which is actually higher than a PH.D The latter has coursework that includes Philosophy and Humanities while the first is all science and math.
Sorry I had a typo in my response; I said, “Neutron radiation has no electrical charge and the particles vary in size.” It should have said that the particles vary in “intensity”. The other challenge with neutron radiation is that many materials emit gamma radiation when struck by high energy neutrons. Depending on the moisture content concrete can form an effective shield.
Thank you for your patient response. I will defer to your father-in-law. I have no knowledge of the type of weapon that you are speaking of, but there are lots of things that I do not know about. I thought that you were referring to a traditional neutron radiation emitting weapon.
I noticed that I had a typo in my response that I just finished correcting. Shielding from neutron radiation is an interesting challenge. Traditional radiation suits do almost nothing; you literally would be better off throwing a wet blanket over your head.
The Mosaad is unforgiving about stuff like this...
