NUMEC: How Israel Stole the Atomic Bomb

This documentary explores one of the most suppressed and explosive espionage cases in American history. In the 1960s, the Nuclear Materials and Equipment Corporation (NUMEC), a U.S. nuclear processing plant in Pennsylvania, mysteriously lost hundreds of pounds of weapons-grade uranium. Evidence strongly suggests that this material was secretly diverted to Israel to support its clandestine nuclear weapons program.

Led by Zionist scientist Zalman Shapiro, NUMEC maintained suspicious connections with Israeli intelligence officials. Despite multiple investigations by the FBI, CIA, and other federal agencies, no one was ever charged, and the case was quietly buried by successive U.S. administrations to protect the relationship with Israel.

This film examines the evidence of the theft, the political cover-up, and the long-term consequences for global nuclear security and U.S. foreign policy. It reveals how Israel’s nuclear arsenal may have been built not just through innovation, but through espionage and collusion at the highest levels of power.
