Avraham Harman, Israeli Ambassador to the United States, left here today to return to his post in Washington, reportedly carrying with him further information about Israel’s construction of a new, 24, 000-kilowatt nuclear reactor.

It is believed that Mr. Harman will present the new information to U. S. Secretary of State Christian A. Herter, with whom he is expected to have an early conference.

The Washington Administration is understood to desire that Israel agree to some form of inspection of its new atomic facility, either by the United States or by the United Nations. Israel’s attitude toward such a proposal is negative, but it is uncertain whether Mr. Harman has been instructed to say so bluntly to Mr. Herter.
