Great work as usual J. A lot of folks probably are not aware, that when that flight of 8 F16's dropped their iron bombs on the dome of reactor I, (Tammuz I), the blast wave did not damage the much smaller reactor II (Tammuz II). Nor was any damage inflicted on the buildings within this walled off faciliteis that contained nuclear hot labs (facilities for the handling of radio isotopes), the fuel fabrication building south east of the main reactor building, machine shops which would have contained hardware and tooling for maintenance of the reactor facilities etc..
Mossad was pretty sure they had 26 pounds of highly enriched uranium was being stored in a special deep water tank to keep it from going "critical", prior to being installed into the fuel rods elements. We must remember, reactor II was on the verge of becoming active, so the Israelis took it out while the uranium was still in storage so that there would be no leaks to the neighoring area. Hell if the Muslims would have ever considered such are in an attack, to protect innocent Iraqi from radiation poisoning.
At any rate. That uranium was still around after the reactor was destroyed.
Just thought I would make these notes for Freepers to consider.
I get my info from the book BULLSEYE IRAQ which I have mentioned a number of times at this site. It's 1982 ISBN number is: 0-425-11259-4.
A very interesting account of the attack on that nuclear power plant.
