Radioactive waste material for use in rockets to contaminate Israeli soil is being shipped to Egypt from India, according to a report published here in the current issue of “Parade” magazine.
The report said that several years ago Canada and its technicians built for India an atomic reactor 16 miles outside of Bombay. Radioactive waste material from this reactor is now being shipped in lead baskets to Egypt, said the report, so it can be used in the warheads of the V-2 rockets German engineers are constructing for Nasser. Such warheads upon explosion would contaminate the earth on which they land even though they would not produce an actual thermonuclear blast effect.
