The site here covers 2,000 acres. A seven-mile fence surrounds it. On one side 15 the ses, behind R the mountains.
I find that Selinfeld is ahead of schedule. For four months now hundreds of men have been at work. The wartime ordnance factory which stood on this alte hos been razed. New laboratories are going up. The

I am told the project will not be affected by the Government's decision to cut capital expenditure. On the advice of the Minister of Defence the Cabinet has deelded to keep atumle energy on top- priority.
