Boston University plans to resume the Haifa, Israel study abroad program this spring, despite the threat of violence in the region, according to BU and University of Haifa officials. The university suspended its fall program amid violence between Hizballah forces and the Israeli army. "We have confidence in the security measures taken by the University of Haifa," Institutional Relations Director Joe Finkhouse said. "We are optimistic that the program will run as scheduled for the spring semester, although we consider the situation very fluid and subject to change without notice." (Daily Free Press)

The constraints on the size of Israel's stockpile include several potential variables, several of which are generic to any nuclear weapons program. The Dimona reactor may have operated an average of between 200 and 300 days annually, and produced approximately 0.9 to 1.0 grams of plutonium for each thermal megawatt day. Israel may have use between 4 and 5 kilograms of plutonium per weapon [5 kilograms is a conservative estimate, and Vanunu reported that Israeli weapons used 4 kg].
