Israel has carried out a series of test detonations to measure the
effects of a “dirty” radiological bomb if it were used by “hostile
forces,” according to a report in the Israeli newspaper Haaretz.
Twenty detonation tests were performed involving between 250
grams and 25 kilograms of explosives together with the common
radioactive substance known as 99mTc, according to the report.
Most of the dirty bomb detonations were carried out in the
southern Negev desert in conjunction with a four-year “Green
field” project at the Dimona Nuclear Research Center, the report
says.
