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.

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
