Weapons/ Israel

Advanced weapons and nuclear energy

At the start of the 33rd Israeli Conference on Mechanical Engineering (ICME 2015), Gideon Frank, an Israel Electric board member, and formerly the Director General of Israel’s Atomic Energy Commission, spoke in favor of nuclear energy. Frank advocated the establishment of nuclear reactors for energy production. There are currently 431 such facilities worldwide, accounting for 14% of global electricity production. In France, 70% of electricity comes from nuclear power plant. In Japan, 30%, and in the US and UK, 20% each. India and China will join this list in the years to come.
