Israel to test installation to monitor Iran's nuclear activity: report
JERUSALEM, Jan 2 (AFP) Israel on Tuesday will test an underground installation in the Negev desert designed to monitor any attempt by Iran to test nuclear devices, the daily Yediot Aharonot reported. The test will consist of three strong explosions Israel will deliberately set off in the northern Negev using 15 tonnes of liquid explosives, to see how they register on equipment at the underground site. The facility is equipped with seismographs and other equipment able to detect earth tremors and transmits the data directly to the IAEA via Israel's nuclear research facility at Nahal Sorek, the paper said. The new underground testing center is in the mountains near the Red Sea beach resort of Eilat. A similar testing station is located in Mount Meron in Upper Galilee in the north of Israel, the report said. (Posted @ 12:25 PST)
