ATOMIC HEATING IN Positions Handed

After 1900, the report pre-crisis showed;
Sweden will be starting diets, up a new atomic heating station every year. To carry out the necessary research and experi- menta, Sweden has just ordered a powerful testing reactor from the United States to supplement her existing reactors.
This new apparatus, a 30,000 kilowatt nuclear research and materials testing reactor, will be built in Sweden under an agree- ment made between the Swedish Atomic Energy Company and the ACF Industries Incorporn- ted of the United States. The

methods have been supplemented by help from in- dustry. For example, the Swedish Shale O Company mines shale for the sake of its oil content. It so happens that the oil layers are generally deeper in the ground than the richest uranium deposits. Thus, the Shale Oil Company is able to supply Atomic Energy Ltd with mined shalo for a moderate fee, since it has to get through the uranium layers to reach the oil layers.
Moreover, Atomic Energy Ltd

So, for one time ahead, she will be doing atomic businnaa with the United States unit other countries able to supply her with uranium.
