Telegram, Embassy of Hungary in North Korea to the Hungarian Foreign Ministry
The Czechoslovak ambassador said that on 12 February the Korean secretary of the Korean-Czechoslovak Intergovernmental Economic, Technical, and Scientific Consultative Commission officially told the first secretary of the Czechoslovak Embassy that the DPRK asked Czechoslovakia to:
1) deliver uranium-mining equipment to the DPRK
2) construct a 440-megawatt nuclear power plant in the DPRK. (I heard from the Soviet ambassador that the DPRK has two important uranium quarries. In one of these two places, the uranium content of the ore is 0.26 percent, while in the other it is 0.086 percent.)
Ferenc Szabó
Ambassador
The DPRK asks Czechoslvakia to construct a nuclear power plant, and also for uranium-mining equipment.
