§ Mr. BennYes. The United Kingdom Atomic Energy Authority has recently concluded a contract with Rio Algom of Canada for the supply of a considerable quantity of uranium concentrates required for civil nuclear power applications. Deliveries will begin in the early seventies.
The two Governments have agreed that safeguards, based upon the principles and procedures of the International Atomic Energy Agency Safeguards System will apply to this material; and that discussions will be held between Canada and the United Kingdom before the commencement of deliveries under the contract on how these safeguards will be applied.
