Together with Choe Seong-se, chairman of the State Committee for New Technology, Sin Chen-si [sic], Secretary of the Presidium of the Academy of Sciences, and Embassy Counsellor N. M. Shesterikov [we] inspected the premises selected to house the Soviet exhibition on the use of atomic energy for peaceful purposes. The premises selected are in an industrial and agricultural exhibition building under construction. The dimensions of the premises are: 1500 m2, height - 8 meters. The construction work remaining is: laying the flooring, whitewashing the walls, and preparing the grounds in front of the building. The Korean friends said that all this work will be finished by 20 May.

 

In our opinion the premises for the exhibit are good and completely meet the requirements which were reported to the Embassy from Moscow.
