Divert!: Numec, Zalman Shapiro and the Diversion of Us Weapons Grade Uranium Into the Israeli Nuclear Weapons Program

I was raised in the Apollo, PA area and have lived there most of my life so this book really means something to me. While I wasn't born when NUMEC was in business I remember the Babcock & Wilcox days very well. I read this book to learn something new about the whole mess that NUMEC, B & W, and the government got us residents into. While Mr. Smith's argument is very persuasive that the missing nuclear material went to build up Israel's arsenal, I have to read more to be convinced. Regardless of where it went, the true crime is what NUMEC, Atlantic-Richfield, and Babcock & Wilcox did to people in the Kiski Valley portion of Pennsylvania. I'm still waiting for a book to be written about that.

A really in depth look at a situation that is hidden from the public.

Thank You!!! Everything was great....exactly what I ordered.

Good read. I was convinced early on that Shapiro had indeed diverted HEU to Isreal. Then chapter after chapter it was hammered in...Too bad little effort was put toward non-proliferation by the U.S. Government and it's agencies. The Israeli lobby is a strong and dangerous force.
