I. I. Rabi

American physicist and Nobel laureate who visited Israel's Dimona reactor in 1961 and reported no evidence of a weapons facility.

I. I. Rabi was an American physicist and Nobel laureate. He, along with Eugene Wigner, was asked by the Israelis to visit the still-incomplete reactor at Dimona sometime early in 1961. They reported seeing no evidence of a weapons facility, and President John F. Kennedy expressed satisfaction with their conviction that the reactor was designed for peaceful purposes.1
