(Canada, which exports ore only to the U.S., last week announced that its production rate of concentrate is 3,300 tons annually, and its known reserves are 225 million tons.) But it also reflects AEC Chairman Lewis Strauss's belief that private industry must be encouraged to increase its participation in atomic-power development rather than letting the job go to public-power plants.
