Israel and new nuclear facilities

Construction work has intensified on a major new structure at a facility

linked to Israel’s long-suspected atomic weapons programme, according to
satellite images analysed by experts. They say it could be a new reactor or
a facility to assemble nuclear arms — but secrecy shrouding the programme
makes it difficult to know for sure. The work at the Shimon Peres Negev
Nuclear Research Center near the city of Dimona will renew questions about
Israel’s widely believed status as the Mideast’s only nuclear-armed
state. It could also draw international criticism, especially since it
comes after Israel and the United States bombed nuclear sites across Iran
in June over their fears that Tehran could use its enrichment facilities to
pursue an atomic weapon.
