[ RadSafe ] Recent Events

[Sergio Faermann]

I am surprised that a scientific forum like RADSAFE is mentioning political issues like this,although I am afraid of what can happen in the event of a nuclear atack to Israel, specially because I live in Israel.
I must stress that Israel was never against the use of nuclear energy for peaceful purposes ( like nuclear power stations) by any country in the world. 

Let's hope for a peaceful solution
