but there is no story like that of mordekai vanews. vananu was nuclear technician in demona till 1985. before quitting, he snapped two roles of film at the top secret nuclear plant. the world was stunned when the sunday times published vananu's story and photos, exposing for the first time the secrets of israel's nuclear arsenal in october 1986, but israeli intelligent. found mordekai vanunum
7:03 pm
and they waited for the right moment to من strike. they sent a woman agent to seduce mordekai vanununu in london and convince him to travel with her to rome. vananu was vulnerable and afraid and fell for mossard's honey track. when the article was published on october the 5th, 1986, vanous. had vanished, his kidnap, an illegal act on foreign soil was kept secret. later, when vananu appeared for secret court session in jerusalem al-kuds, he found a way to reveal what had happened to him since he left london, writing on his hand, vananu m was hijacked in rome. vanenu's trial was held in
7:04 pm
secret. he was found guilty of treason and espionage and sentenced to 18 years in jail, 11 of them in solitary confinement. the woman في that seduced vananu was sherill benthof. after she completed her mission, she disappeared back into her secret world. today, she lives back in orlando, usa with her husband. two daughters running a real في a estate business. vananu's revelations confirmed suspicions and showed a weapons program bigger and more advanced than anyone had previously thought. mordekai vananu was released in 2004, but he is not a free man. israeli borders are now his prison. his passport was confiscated and he cannot contact foreigners. this jewish state have
7:05 pm
200 atomic wapons of hydrogen bomb, atomic weapons, neutron bomb, and they are not able to say they have the bomb. they are not able to destroy anyone, we are not able to use the bomb, instead the arrest. what we are going to see now is something that has never been shown in a non-israeli tv channel. a 3d tour inside the israeli bomb factory recreated thanks to the photos taken by mordekai vanano. this is institute number one. dimona's symbol, the only building seen. from far away, a 20 meters high nuclear reactor dome. in 1986, vananu took us inside, heavy water reactor built in the 50s with france and norway's help, with a capacity of 24 megawatts. thanks to vananu, we learned that
7:06 pm
this reactor capacity is three, or possibly even five times larger than assumed. this reactor produces 40 kilograms of... plutonium year, enough to build 10 to 12 atomic bombs. adjacent to the reactor is institute number three. here the fuel rods powering the reactor are produced, together with lithium 6, another ingredient of the bomb. this is institute number five. here the fuel rods are coated with the aluminium. institute number six is the power station of the compound. the... the lab is in institute number eight, and inside is another secret revealed by mordekai vanenu. this is where israel producs enriched uranium. like plutonium, it's conserved as fishionable material for the bomb. the uranium is produced through gas
7:07 pm
centrifuges. enritched uranium is also produced in institute number nine, using laser, a unique israeli patent. institute number 10 produces the depleted. uranium, an important component in the production of armor piercing shells. institute number four handles the radiation waist prior to it being disposed. and this long two-story building with no windows, is demona's biggest secret. institute number two, beneath the two innocent looking floors, hidden underground are six additional floors. it was vananu who showed the world what no satellite could see. here israel set up a plutonium separation facility with one goal, the manufacturing of atomic bombs. in the 60s, american inspectors visited the first floor, they saw the restaurants and the offices. a special wall was constructed hiding the elevators leading
7:08 pm
to the underground levels. back outside, trucks bring in the processed uranium rods. through the large doors, the crane grasps the rods. and lowers them to the big workspace, four floors below. the rods are dipped in nitrous acid tanks, cooked for about 30 hours and then a system a pipes draws the water containing the uranium and plutonium. through a chemical process, the materials are separated and then baked in an oven, producing a small 130 gram plutonium ball, 1.7 kilograms a week, four kilograms and it's a bomb, just like this. models shot by vananu. the process can be viewed from level two. a balcony was built for distinguished guests, nicknamed golder's balcony. and that's the control room as shot by vananu. only 150 employees are authorized to enter it. visits are limited to the prime minister,
7:09 pm
the ministry of military affairs and a small group of confidence. equipped with a hidden camera, vananu walked about institute number two and took pictures of the different sections. not only plutonium is produced here. at level number four, vananu revealed the production of tritium used in the production of thermonuclear bombs, which are more powerful than ordinary atomic bombs. two other essential materials for the bomb are produced here, lithium and juterium. all these ingredients are taken to level five to unit md2, the metal department, where they are assembled into a bomb. one. level down is recreation room where vananu shot one experts identified as a model of an israeli thermonuclear bomb, 10 times more powerful than the bomb dropped on hiroshima. experts that analyzed banalou's testimony determined
7:10 pm
that by the 80s israel had produced 100 to 200 atomic bombs. this brands israel as the sixth or even fifth nuclear power in the world. ladies and gentlemen, we come to the queen national airport, from our man, we travel to southern jordan. high cancer rates were recorded in all the southern jordanian governance which confirmed the possible direction of nuclear dust that might be leaking from demona. tips we received claim that in jordan there are hundreds of cases of cancer and other diseases, all of them in the regions near the border with israel. from
7:11 pm
talifar to demona, it is about 30 kilometers and winds or water knows no borders. in almost every house in this region we can find the same story: diseases and death. dimona is a word that everybody knows around here, but in jordan, like in israel, demona and his deadly consequences are taboo. sale is tour guide and an activist. for years he is trying to uncover what is happening to the people around the taffila region. العديد من الحقائق مثلا مفاعل ديمونه هو مزاج عام كل الناس عندنا
7:12 pm
هي بتعرف انه في شيء من مفاعل ديمونه بياثر على الناس في محافظه التقليه ولكن الجهات الرسميه ما عندها اييه راي تحكيه وما عندها كلام تحكيه للمواطن فهو دائم يعني دائما من المواضيع المسكوط عنها ف فبتحس انه هناك في شيء غامض الجهات الرسميه ما بتتحدث فيه كثير وسائل الاعلام ما بتتحدث فيه كثير ما في ردد مباشر من الجهات الرسميه يحكي عن انه هل هذا الكلام صحيح او غلط احنا دورنا في هذا الوقت انه احنا نحمي اجيالنا القادمه من هذا المفاعل من هذا الموت لانه غير منطقي انه هذا المفاعل يظل للابد في اسرائيل انه جيل ورا اخر يمر على طريق المهم.
7:13 pm
our next stop is in tafina, here the average manifestation of cancer is higher than the other jordanian governors and surrounding arab countries. we're going to visit the governor's office where we are going to meet the mayor and the governor of the region. الموضوع ما بفهم فيه ورحم الله ما بفهم موضوع الذره والديمون انا هذا الموضوع لا تسالوني عنه اللي انا ما بعرف فيه لا من بعيد ولا انا فكرت البرنامج حطوا كاميراتكم بدنا نحكي عن الواقع السياحي دليل سياحي الطبيله اول مره ما قلت بدنا نحكي عن السياره والله يا صاحبي انا قلت لك موضوعنا نحكي عن تاثير مفاعل
7:14 pm
let's go with the simple questions, there is people claiming that the nuclear plant is affecting people here in this side of the world. سيدي انا هذا الامر لا اعلم فيه على الاطلاق لكن البنيه في المحافظه تمتاز بالتنوع الطفيده بئه نظيفه خاليه من التلوث احنا الااردن واسرائيل هناك معاهده سلام ونحن ملتزمين ببنودها احنا والجانب الاخر لا يوجد ايه مشاكل تذكر في هذا الامر ابدا على الاطلاق. during our visit to the governor's office, there was a jordanian journalist present.
7:15 pm
gazi al-amerin invites us to meet him far away from the official offices and tells us the result of years trying to investigate how dimona can be a silent killer. التسريب يعني كانت قبل عام 1980 الوفيات في جنوب المملكه التي تعاني من مرض السرطان اقل من ا من المجمل الوفيات بعد عام 1990 تزايدت هذه الحالات الى ان اصبحت تشكل اكثر من 30% من مجمل الوفيات الطفيليه تحديدا والمناطق القريبه او المفروضه الصحافه الاردنيه الرسميه لا تتمتع بالحريه
7:16 pm
الكافيه يجب ان يحصل الاردن وتحصل منطقه الطفيله على قياس حقيقي فاعل لمعرفه حجم الاشعاعات في المنطقه ليست الحكومه هي من قام ببث الاشعاعات ولا اسرائيل متعمده ببث الاشعرات ولا نحن راغبون بالموت بالسرطان لكن نحن نحتاج الى تكنولوجيا والى تقنيه لمعرفه حقيقه هذه الاشعاعات واثرها على حالات السرطان الموجوده والتي تشكل كما قلت اكثر من 30% people around stafilla region are dying from cancer in high numbers, doctors link the cases to demona contamination, but officially nobody can say it, not even the ones that are dying. انا بلش
7:17 pm
عندي ورم من قبل سني ببلش صغير بحجم 3 سم. اللي صار كبيره تقريبا 17 سم موجود في الرجل شخصوا اخذوا منه خزعات وتقاري قالوا ان هي جرثومه السرطانيين من جوله المصدر بلش يعني ما اتابع بواجبات العاديه ما اقدر اشتغل ما اقدر اروح ما اقدر اجي ما غير تعب نفسي غير تعبي على المستشفيات وتعال وروح وبات المستشفيات واش زي هيك يعني انت اذا سالتني عن حالات في المحيط dana is an amazing natural treasure in jordan, too close to demona. barsem saudi was
7:18 pm
born here in this land, a step away from demona nuclear plant. he knows that his people are dying silently and once answers that never come. is demona nuclear plant poisoning its arab neighbors? احنا الان على حدود محميه ضانه للمحيط الحيوي. هي المحميه اللي بتغطي مساحتتها تقريبا 300 مربع، وهي اكبر محميه موجوده في الاردن. المحميه سجل فيها حوالي 838 نوع من النباتات. وا اكثر من 216 نوع الطيور اختلاف في الارتفاع ولد مناخات عديده فبتلاقي في في منطقه المحميه سجلنا اربع مناخات موجوده وهي المناخات الموجوده في الشرق الاوسط فال الحدود الموجوده امامنا هي حدود الااردن مع اسرائيل ومن هنا نستطيع رؤيه الجبال الموجوده في في منطقه الضفه الغربيه واسرائيل مفاعل
7:19 pm
ديمونه هو بعيد فقط حوالي 40 كيلومتر من منطقتنا فهو ا اقرب شيء وال المشكله في مفاعل ديمونه انه جاي على حفره الانهدام وحفره الانهدام هي كثيره الزلازل والهزات الارضيه فاذا لا سمح الله حصل اي زلزال او هزه ارضيه وتصدع المفاعل اكيد رح تكون كارثه مش بس علينا كمان حتى على اسرائيل نفسها وعلى الشعب الاسرائيلي وعلى الناس اجمعين. انه قاعد نسبه الان حوالي تقريبا 60% كلها من السرطانات شايفيه وتصلبات وتشريات من المفاعل هذه الشعاعات هي اللي اثرت على على منطقتنا انت
7:20 pm
عندك حالات يعني انا والله من الحالات انا توفى الان ولد عمر من عمره ثمان اشهر صار عنده ظمور ال تشنجات كذا توفى الولد الثاني نفس النظام حوالي ست سته اولاد دفنته ست اولاد توفى طيب انت حاولت تعالجه قمت بالمتعالج في الخدمات الطبيه واخر وادي دخلت مستشفى هداسه وكانت عنده حموضه في الدم يعني انت بتحس انه في حالات كثيره صارت غير اللي عندك في القادسيه بعدك فوق ال 60% كلها سرطانات وكله من يعني نعم وبامكانكم تتاكدوا من صحيحه الكلام في المجتمع المحلي في القادسيه على الحائلات تمرو عليهم على على بيوتهم اوكي يا سيدي شكرا لك الشفااء we are back in palestine to visit some villages south of alkali, very close to the negev desert and demona, here the cancer
7:21 pm
rates are growing in alarming numbers. the causes are not more than rumors, nuclear radioactive leakage from demona and nuclear waste stumps in the area, or even both. we try to find a clear answer to these rumors in berlin with. 200 um cubic meters year were produced in demona and it's been running for more than 40 years. we can estimate about 8,000 cubic meters of waste radioactive waste have been as the bottom line um have been produced and to try and imagine what that is, it's maybe you know in a picture 50,000 standard barrels of oil would be about 8,000 cubic meters. we also don't know where they bury this waste, um, they say that it's not far from the reactor, and um, the main
7:22 pm
problem that we're looking at here is what state of these stainless steel containers in after they corroded, will they be leaking, are they seeping into the ground, into the into the water sources, are we seeing pollution of the environment, therefore of people's health, i mean, i don't know exactly the geography. the area, but and there it's chalk, and i imagine that the whole area is probably also chalk, and um, that is not a good area to be deposing and any kind of waste, and they saw that with this toxic waste dump because there was leakages and serious health problems were discovered, so i would imagine that it would be similar in in the area around demona, because it's not far away. and also whether it gets into the water or not, because once it gets into the water then it transports much further into other areas and people can drink it that are quite
7:23 pm
far away um so then we're talking about basically um that there would be cancers later on or leukemia um and in particularly the children would be badly affected because children and especially women are more susceptible to radiation, the effects on them are much greater than grown men for instance. i would say that those are the ones that we have found um definitely in the studies that have been done around nuclear installations in germany that the main problem was childhood cancer and in the areas surrounding plutonium reprocessing plants like cell field uh... in the uk, the main problem was leukemia. the radioactivity has a tremendous
7:24 pm
power that can penetrate the human gene, affecting generation after generation. jamal is a palestinian policeman. he was arrested after the second intifada and spent 13 years in jail. now he is. but living new hell, his daughter has cancer, at the age of nine, she was diagnosed with leukemia, nothing in the medical reports says this palestinian.
7:25 pm
7:26 pm
probably the sixth or even fifth nuclear power in the world, while others should open the doors of their nuclear programs for inspections, israel is a special case producing nuclear weapons since the 60s without any control. meanwhile, cancer cases and other diseases are spreading across israel, palestine and neighboring arab countries. the victims die without knowing what or who is killing them?
