A Nuclear Engineering Center will be constructed on the campus of the Technion-Israel Institute of Technology here, following receipt of a gift from the Sherman Foundation of Cardiff, Wales, for one million Israeli pounds, it was announced today.
Abe Sherman investigated Israel’s engineering requirements during a recent trip. Upon his return to Wales, he and his brother, Harry, decided to present the gift to Technion–the largest single gift ever received by the Technion from Great Britain–for the establishment of a nuclear center that will bear the Sherman family name. The new facility will open up new possibilities for Israel in the field of a nuclear power program for peacetime purposes.
