Its first low-power reactor, using 30 tons of U.S.-refined uranium and 500 tons of British graphite (as moderator), is under construction...
Sweden has been trading its own low-grade uranium ore (200 grams of uranium per metric ton) for refined French uranium metal. At present the Swedes have one 300-kw. reactor built underground in Stockholm, another big reactor with a probable output of 20,000 kw. and some plutonium...
Switzerland's Jacques LaLive de Piney reported plans for a $7,000,000 reactor (using five tons of uranium, eight tons of heavy water), to be ready...
