The plant’s founder, Zalman Shapiro — pioneering naval-reactor chemist and ardent Zionist — maintained extensive Israeli contacts.
The key takeaway I get from this story is that the stolen uranium was not a breach of security or a failing of counter-intelligence. It was a set-up from the beginning. Like the sinking of the U.S.S. Liberty I suppose.
I know this is low effort of me to ask, but anyone know if there is family relation between Zalman Shapiro and current PA governor Josh Shapiro?
No, Zalman Shapiro and Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro are not related. Zalman Mordecai Shapiro (1920–2016) was a chemist, nuclear engineer, and inventor who lived primarily in the Pittsburgh area (Oakland). He married Evelyn Greenberg in 1945, and they had three children: Joshua, Ezra, and Deborah. Zalman was born in Canton, Ohio, to Abraham and Minnie Shapiro, and his family had ties to the Pittsburgh Jewish community.
Governor Josh Shapiro (born Joshua David Shapiro in 1973 in Kansas City, Missouri) is the son of Steven Shapiro (a pediatrician) and Judi Shapiro (a teacher). His family moved to the Philadelphia suburbs (Dresher in Montgomery County) when he was young. He was raised in a Jewish household in the eastern part of Pennsylvania.
Why they are not related:Different parents and generations: Zalman’s son is named Joshua, but he belongs to an earlier generation (likely born in the 1940s–1950s). Governor Josh’s father is explicitly Steven, with no connection to Zalman’s line.
Geography: Zalman’s life and family were centered in western Pennsylvania (Pittsburgh region). Josh’s family is tied to the eastern suburbs of Philadelphia. No overlapping family records, obituaries, or genealogies link them.
No public or genealogical evidence: Biographies, Wikipedia entries, Geni family trees, and news articles (including Zalman’s 2016 obituary) show no shared ancestry or distant relation. Shapiro is an extremely common Ashkenazi Jewish surname, which often leads to coincidental assumptions (Josh has publicly stated he is not related to commentator Ben Shapiro, for example).
Searches across reliable sources turn up zero credible links—only occasional online speculation that remains unsubstantiated. In short, they share a common last name and Pennsylvania ties, but nothing more. They come from unrelated branches of the broader Shapiro family network.

This is why Israel is saved for last!
JFK did something about it.
