A NUMEC employee walked near the NUMEC loading dock and encountered people he could not identify loading cans about the size of HEU-235 canisters onto a ship that was headed to Israel. The employee detailed the event in 1980 when interviewed by FBI agents.
Dept. of Energy investigators told former Atomic Energy Commissioner Glenn T. Seaborg that traces of U-235 material delivered to NUMEC for processing into fuel had been picked up in Israel. Seaborg as AEC chief frequently defended Shapiro, refused to be interviewed by FBI.
January 31, 1982, after six decades of service, Admiral Rickover was forced to retire over a corrupt relationship with General Dynamics & leaks of sensitive nuclear weapons secrets to Israel. General Dynamics was taken over by Jewish steel magnate Henry Crown.
During JFK's Presidency General Dynamics was under intense scrutiny for defense contract fraud. Kennedy was also acutely aware that Israel was trying to obtain nuclear material from the United States to develop nuclear weapons.
Kennedy told Israeli Prime Minister Levi Eshkol that Israel would never obtain nuclear weapons while he was president.
Kennedy, suspicious of Rickover over reports of his contacts with Israel’s nuclear program, was going to force Rickover to retire in 1964.
After Kennedy’s 63 assassination, Shapiro’s smuggling of weapon materials to Israel continued without interference & General Dynamics saw new heights of prosperity under a pro-Israel LBJ.
Rickover continued to serve until 1982 when his corrupt hand was caught in the cookie jar once too many times.
