The reactor specializes in the use of radiation based techniques from equipment for nuclear medicine and radio-pharmaceuticals to non-destructive testing and development of sophisticated methods for detecting contraband and security-threat materials. It also offers radiation protection training. (Source: Israel Atomic Energy Commission)

NUCLEAR ARSENAL - Foreign analysts say Israel could possess a sizable nuclear arsenal. Israel maintains a policy of nuclear ambiguity, refusing to confirm or deny its abilities. Based on estimates of the plutonium production capacity of the Dimona reactor, experts say Israel could have 100-200 advanced nuclear explosive devices. Officially, Israel has declared that it will not be the first to introduce nuclear weapons into the Middle East. Israel has not signed the nuclear non-proliferation treaty (NPT).
