Chapter 580: Technician Vanunu
readx;
Underground nuclear test refers to the design of the nuclear device (i.e., nuclear warhead) after a variety of complex environmental tests, put into a certain depth of underground nuclear explosion, in order to verify whether the test meets the requirements, to verify whether the theoretical calculation and engineering design are correct, in order to improve the design and provide a scientific basis for production.

Conventional nuclear explosions on the ground, although the mushroom cloud produced by the explosion is very spectacular, but with the explosion, nuclear radiation will spread everywhere, affecting the environment, therefore, ground nuclear tests are selected to be carried out in deserts and other places, far away from the city, for Iraq, the Hijara Desert was originally an ideal site for Iraq's nuclear tests, but if there is a nuclear explosion there, it will take a few minutes, the United States and the Soviet Union will know, and then, the whole world will know that Iraq is facing, I am afraid that it will be the outrage of the whole world and the sanctions that will follow.
Nuclear weapons are a very magical thing, countries that do not have nuclear weapons and have ambitions, are racking their brains to get into the nuclear weapons club, even if they are sanctioned and condemned, they will not hesitate, although in the first few years of the explosion, it will be more sad, but as long as they get through it, the whole world already knows, then it will be calm again, what should be done or what. And the countries with nuclear weapons will desperately restrict these countries from developing nuclear weapons, and it is also sanctions, threats, and restrictions on your development, this thing is Pandora's box, it is a demon, you can't have it!
The two poles are seriously opposed, so all countries that want to develop nuclear weapons are quietly developing. ≦≧
Qusay originally planned that if the Soviet Union invaded eastern Iran on a large scale, it would blatantly detonate nuclear weapons, and the difference between small countries and big countries is that although large countries have nuclear weapons for various considerations, they will never dare to use them easily because of mutual checks and balances. And small countries, as long as they are in a hurry. When it should be used, it will definitely not be stingy, there is a saying in China, called barefoot is not afraid to wear shoes.
Iraq is a small country, a great power of the USSR, against their mechanized forces, Iraq has no strength, but. Iraq will show enough will. If the Soviet Union really dared to send troops, then Iraq would definitely not be stingy in throwing nuclear bombs on their heads. Moreover, it is the missiles that they provide are used.
It's just, that's it. Although at the beginning of the period, for the purpose of confronting the Soviet Union, the United States will not impose sanctions on Iraq for the time being, but as long as it passes, Iraq will certainly be severely sanctioned by the United States. ≦≧
Now, that threat is gone, and Qusay knows it. Correspondingly, its own policy will have to change accordingly, from the demonstrative detonation of nuclear bombs to the quiet, and, to the death, the refusal to admit it.
Want to conduct nuclear tests underground, then. The Hijara Desert is absolutely not allowed, because, in the desert, you can't dig a deep enough pit to dig a tunnel in the desert. That's impossible, only in the mountains. And the mountains. There are two places, which can be northern Iraq or western Iran.
Qusay set his sights on the western Iranian province of Bakhtaran, where copper ore has been discovered and is being mined, and heavy trucks imported from Austria and Germany are working day and night to remove the stones from the surface of the copper mine, and use this as a cover to simultaneously excavate near the mine to create a hole sufficient for nuclear testing.
After receiving Qusay's order, the engineers in charge of the nuclear weapons program restarted the design, which was originally carried out according to the ground nuclear test, and now, it has been changed to an underground nuclear test, then, there is still a lot of data to be recalculated, and the depth of the hole and the instruments required for the experiment need to be redesigned, so it will have to be postponed for several months. ≦≧
Unbeknownst to Qusay, another country, Israel, with its nuclear program, has also entered a critical moment.
In the northern part of the Negev region of Israel, Dimona. Founded in 1955, the city has a population of 28,000 people, 47 kilometres east of Sedoum on the southwestern shore of the Dead Sea. This kind of city is not well-known in Israel, but there are countless eyes quietly watching it, because it is the site of Israel's only nuclear reactor.

I'll say that too
I'm going to be happy
Mountain rain is coming9
The Dimona reactor is a nuclear test reactor that Israel began to build in the fifties, and its power is only 75 megawatts, so this nuclear reactor located on the edge of the African plate in the desert area is not a nuclear reactor that provides electricity at all, but to the outside world, it is an experimental reactor for Israel's peaceful research on nuclear energy. ≦≧
Only Israel's top brass knows that this reactor has always provided them with nuclear materials, and Israel's nuclear program began here.
Israel has never signed the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, which means that their nuclear reactor will not be supervised by the International Atomic Energy Agency, so that everything here is in Israel's own hands.
If Israel wants to become a great power, then, it must have nuclear weapons!
Israel has established a series of secret research institutes next to the Dimona nuclear reactor, where Israeli nuclear weapons experts have been working silently for the sake of Israel's strength, and in the eyes of hostile forces all around, their nuclear weapons are a powerful umbrella to protect the Jews!
However, they did not know that fellow Jewish, a technician working here, Modikai Vanunu, was in a very bad mood. ≦≧
Born in Morocco in 1954 to a Jewish family, Vanunu moved to Israel in the early '60s during that movement, where he has since settled. Infected by the authorities, Vanunu resolutely joined the army, after a few years as an engineer, Vanunu retired, went to Tel Aviv University to study, but was dropped out of school because of failing the physics exam At the beginning of the year, Vanunu got a job opportunity to work as a technician in the Dimona nuclear engineering in the Negev Desert. The job was secret, and he and the other newcomers were asked to sign an oath of confidentiality. It stipulates that anyone who divulges secrets will be sentenced to 15 years in prison. Originally, he was also a staunch Zionist, and he was extremely honored and proud to be able to participate in Israel's program to develop nuclear weapons, and he worked exceptionally hard to stand out among the newcomers.
However, Vanunu's thinking is slowly changing, Israel's area is now much larger than the area of the original UN resolution, and those Palestinians are being displaced, why can't the two sides live in peace?
In particular, the year before last, Israel was able to ignore the United Nations resolution and brazenly invade Lebanon, which made him fundamentally change his thinking and turn to oppose Israel's foreign military stationing. Israel needs to be strong, however, it must not be built on the basis of brutal aggression against foreign countries!
Just a few days ago, Vanunu had joined a campaign to demand the release of a soldier who had been imprisoned for refusing to serve in the occupied Arab territories, and he felt that the soldier had done the right thing to do, but that he had been unjustifiably imprisoned by the Government, and that his barbaric actions had been exalted by the Government. However, after returning from the march, Vanunu received a warning from the base leadership to tell him to relent. This warning is very serious.
Vanunu's mood began to be extremely unfair, he was full of disgust with the work he was carrying out now, and the work he was carrying out now would make the government more confident to invade foreign countries! Everything he is doing now is wrong.
The indignant Vanunu, who began an action that he himself did not consider the consequences, he went to work, quietly brought in a camera, and on the night shift, when no one was paying attention, he began to photograph his working environment, those machines he operated, centrifuges that enriched uranium.
The leaders of the Dimona nuclear project did not pay too much attention to Vanunu, because they were very impressed by Vanunu's hard work in the past few years, and they thought that Vanunu was only temporarily affected by bad emotions and did not supervise him much, and they did not know that Vanunu was doing something that would put them in a catastrophe, this person was a sinner in Israel!
The Dimona nuclear project has now reached its most critical point, and they will detonate Israel's first nuclear weapon in two months, and they have also opted for underground nuclear tests. Few people are particularly concerned about that little technician's business.
At this time, in the United States, a special conference was being held, attended by 500 official representatives of 20 countries, including representatives of the USSR. Among them are scientists, diplomatic envoys and officials from around the world, as well as government officials, educators, environmental experts, business leaders, foreign policy makers, and military leaders from across the United States. Discuss one of the latest theories proposed by the United States: nuclear winter.
"In a nuclear war with a yield of 5 billion tons, 960 million tons of dust and 225 million tons of black smoke can be lifted into the air and shrouded in the sky, and the sunlight that shoots to the earth is absorbed by these black smoke particles and becomes hot, and the heated black smoke produces an updraft, pushing the black particles into the stratosphere at a height of 30 kilometers, destroying the ozone layer. In this way, the whole earth will become a dark gray world, the sky will no longer be clear, thick smoke clouds will cover the sky, all day long, the land will no longer see the sun, day and night will be difficult to distinguish, the temperature will drop sharply, the green vegetation will freeze to death, the ocean and rivers will freeze, the earth's ecology will be seriously damaged, and the living conditions of human beings will be destroyed in one fell swoop. Carl Sagan, an astronomer at Cornell University in the United States, presented his theory to them: in a nuclear war, there is no winner, and the entire planet will face the extinction of life!
