...fire. But targets within Libya also look tempting to some U.S. strategists. One is an expanding military air base, nine miles south of the coastal city of Surt, where intelligence satellites show construction of twelve Soviet SA-5 ground-to-air missile sites. Another potential target is a nuclear-reactor project being built along the coast with Soviet help. A dangerous complication: the reactor and the batteries may both be tended by Soviet advisers...
Like the Entebbe rescue and a 1981 bombing raid that destroyed a nuclear reactor in Iraq, last week's attack had been elaborately planned. At dawn on Tuesday, eight F-15s took off from an air base in northern Israel, followed about 40 minutes later by eight F-16s. The F-16s were refueled by Israeli tanker planes; then they dived and continued to fly as low as possible over the Mediterranean to avoid radar detection, approaching Tunis from the south. While the F-16s staged the bombing raid, the F-15s remained in reserve some 500 miles away. Near...
...Sebastian and told him of his "profound regret and great astonishment" at the Administration's response. Summing up the reaction by moderate Arabs, one senior Western ^ diplomat in Cairo declared, "The raid is going to leave scars, a lot more than were caused by the attack on the Iraqi reactor...
...Times Beach, Mo., J.M. Huber Corp. has used a mobile electric reactor that heats up to 4,000 degrees F to destroy the dioxin in several hundred pounds of soil. Also tested at Times Beach is the EPA's mobile incinerator. It got rid of 99.9% of the dioxin in 1,750 gal. of liquid waste and 40 tons of soil in six weeks. Another movable unit is Westinghouse Electric's plasma arc furnace, which is housed in a 46-ft. trailer. The furnace reaches temperatures of 20,000 degrees...
...program developed rapidly along several fronts, some evidently peaceful in intent, others less so. By 1973 the country possessed a Canadian-built commercial nuclear reactor fueled by natural uranium. At about the same time, Bhutto entered negotiations with France for a commercial-scale plutonium- reprocessing plant. It would be capable of extracting from spent fuel more than 300 lbs. of plutonium annually, enough for as many as 30 atom bombs and far more than necessary for Pakistan's peaceful nuclear program...
