If /IsaacKing/was-the-vela-incident-a-nuclear-bom resolves NO, this resolves N/A. Otherwise it resolves to all countries that knowingly and significantly contributed to the construction of the bomb.

The countries must have directly contributed to the test in some way: Providing transportation, collecting information about where to place the test, manufacturing parts of the bomb. Generally contributing to the nuclear weapons program of a contributing country is not sufficient.

Could you define “involved”? France helped Israel enrich uranium but then pulled out of the collaboration. Still the test could have never happened without their indirect help

@mariopasquato How did they help?

@IsaacKing https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_weapons_and_Israel

@mariopasquato Hmm. I think that probably wouldn't count, but I'm not sure. If France knew that they were helping with that specific test, then it likely would count.

@IsaacKing Bought some France for good measure
