French officials estimated that delivery would be delayed for two years, which would also postpone the shipment of 65 kilograms of enriched uranium fuel that France had agreed to supply along with the reactor. That is enough uranium to build at least half a dozen "dirty" atomic bombs of Hiroshima force. The saboteurs-police later estimated that three men were involved-knew their mission as well as they knew their way around the plant.
