Canadian industry could benefit from U.S. super collider project

A memorandum of understanding (MOU) has been signed between the Canadian Commercial Corporation (CCC) and the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE). The MOU has been put in place to facilitate procurement of Canadian goods and services for DOE's Superconducting Super Collider Project. A high-energy subatomic particle accelerator, the Collider will boost protons to energies twenty times higher than ever before. This will enable physicists to search out the innermost nature of matter, and the forces that hold it together, with unprecedented precision, and to explore distances one-thousandth the diameter of a proton. The United States $8.25 billion Super Collider project, to be completed in 1999, will be constructed in Waxahachie, Texas, under the direct supervision and management of the Universities Research Association Inc., a non-profit institution formed by 79 major research universities in the U.S. and Canada
