Dimona is a city of about 60,000 people in the Negev Desert in southern Israel, about 35 kilometers from Beersheba. The city is known for the establishment of the Negev Nuclear Research Center in 1958, known as the "Dimona Nuclear Facility", which is the core of Israel's nuclear program and has long been regarded as a state secret, with limited details of its activities known to the outside world. In addition to nuclear energy-related industries, Dimona has also been developing solar energy and other clean energy technologies in recent years, and has become an important node for new energy research and development in Israel, relying on the desert's abundant light resources. The city's planning focuses on livability, with well-developed community facilities and educational resources, making it one of the relatively prosperous residential and technological centers in the Negev desert region.
