Nuclear Testing
Israel may have conducted an underground test in the Negev in 1963. On November 2, 1966, the country may have carried out a non-nuclear test, speculated to be zero yield or implosion in nature. On 22 September 1979 Israel may have been involved in a possible South African nuclear bomb test also known as the Vela Incident in the southern Indian Ocean.

Famous quotes containing the words nuclear and/or testing:
“The problems of the world, AIDS, cancer, nuclear war, pollution, are, finally, no more solvable than the problem of a tree which has borne fruit: the apples are overripe and they are falling—what can be done?... Nothing can be done, and nothing needs to be done. Something is being done—the organism is preparing to rest.”
—David Mamet (b. 1947)
“Traditional scientific method has always been at the very best 20-20 hindsight. It’s good for seeing where you’ve been. It’s good for testing the truth of what you think you know, but it can’t tell you where you ought to go.”
—Robert M. Pirsig (b. 1928)
