The electrical generating capacity of the proposed
plants range from 10,000 to 25,000 kilowatts
The third round of invitations, described above in Section All "Donestic Development of Atomic Power", represents a further sipnificant step in
the implementation of this course of action undertaken during the current
reporting pericd, and is responsive to the interest of cooperating counpries
in reactors utilizing natural uranium fuel cycies.
ree
The AEC has also undertaken a still further step in implementing
this course of action by the esteblishment of a research and development pro-
Srem concerned with (ea) heavy water power reactors using natural ureaniuh as
fuel, and (b) the feasibility of recycling plutonium in thermo-power reqctors.
The work on heavy water power reactors is being done by E. I. DuPont de|Nemours,
Inc. under its contract for the operation cf the AEC's Savannah River Plant;
and the work cn the recycling of plutoniwn is being done by General Eleq¢tric
under its contract for the cperation of the AEC'’s Hanford plan
