GERMANY will build its nuclear research
reactor at Munich's technical university
even if it has to risk brickbats from the
rest Of the world community. The us is
particularly perturbed about this
obstinacy: it fears that the new reactor,
which will use highly enriched,
capons-grade uranium, will encourage
nuclear proliferation.
The us has extended an offer to
the reactor to enable it to use
less enriched uranium. If this project
"oes into operation, it will seriously discredit us efforts since 1978 - partly
inanced by Germany itself - to con
expert existing uranium research reactors
introducing highly enriched uranium into reactors producing the less
enriched variety in an attempt to contain proliferation.
