Satellite images said to suggest facility removed after Israeli airstrike 
RIGHT: This is a satellite image of Syria collected on October 24, 2007. The area was believed to be the site of a partly built nuclear reactor until it was suspected to be attacked by Israeli forces in September and later covered up. |
It doesn't look like a nuclear reactor site to me. For a start, I have never seen a square nuclear reactor building, although I guess a square shell could be build around it to confuse aerial surveillance. But where are the cooling towers? Nuclear reactors need large amounts of water, and although there may have been water pumped up form aquifers below the desert, it would still have to be stored, cooled and disposed of somewhere.
Also it appears the facility bombed was located at the top of a mountain or hill - definitely not the place to build a nuclear reactor.
