FRA chief warns of penalties up to 2500 per violation while unions challenge the rule in court and probe officials stress the rule’s teeth. Amtrak cites humane reasons for not testing three crewmembers who were injured or in shock.

Ex–Israeli nuclear worker Mordechai Vanunu described a large and sophisticated Dimona operation to the Times of London, claiming Israel produces plutonium for about 88 pounds a year, enough for 10 bombs. U.S. and British experts cautioned about confirmation but deem his details largely consistent with Dimona’s capabilities.
