Israel, U.S. sign nuclear cooperation agreement
Yossi Melman; 14/4/08
Israel and the United States signed an agreement several days ago to step up cooperation in the field of nuclear safety. The move is part of Israel’s efforts to receive foreign assistance in ensuring that the aging nuclear reactor at Dimona continues to operate safely. The new agreement broadens and upgrades previous accords between the two countries in this field, which were signed over the past two decades. It will enable the Israel Atomic Energy Commission to access most of the latest nuclear safety data, procedures and technology available in the U.S.
