According to Cooley, Cairo con-
siders the estimated $400,000,000
cost of a nuclear weapons pro-
gram prohibitive. Israel and Egypt
both began peacetime nuclear-
energy programs in the 1950s.
(There have been a flurry of
reports recently that Israel has
produced nuclear bombs, em-
phatically denied by Israeli
authorities. It is generally con-
ceded however that Israel has
the technical capability to pro-
duce such weapons.)
Cooley noted that nuclear re-
search has been conducted at Is-
rael's Soreq research center since
1952 under safeguards and inspec-
tion of the International Atomic
Energy Agency (IAEA) in Vienna.
Atomic research is also conducted
at the Weizmann Institute of Sci-
ence in Rehovot, at the Hebrew
University in Jerusalem and the
Haifa Technion, he said.

which is operated without IAEA
safeguards or inspection, Cooley
wrote. He said that Israel has no
known means of manufacturing en-
riched uranium, but the Dimona re-
actor can manufacture plutonium
from uranium found in the Dead
Sea phosphate beds.
Cooley noted that Egypt signed
its first agreement on nuclear co-
operation with the Soviet Union in
1956, and in 1961 the Russians built
a 2,000 kilowatt reactor at Inchass
in lower Egypt. It has no known
capacity for manufacturing pluto-
nium in military quantities, nor
has Egypt, like Israel, developed
natural uranium supplies, the cor-
respondent wrote.
