[en] The demand for electricity, with high growth rates and excessive optimism about continuity without abrupt fluctuations in the development model, gave rise in almost all the developed countries and also in Spain to a large increase in investment, which in many cases brought about a construction of surplus generating capacity. The 1973 oil crisis favored an initial consolidation of the nuclear power option in the larger countries such as the USA, USSR and Japan, with its maximum translation into nuclear programs at any cost like the French one. The mid-1970s Spanish forecasts were similar and extended their influence up to the beginning of the 1980s. 1 fig

[en] Some highlights of the survey are as follows. The average grade of the uranium deposit at Cigar Lake, Saskatchewan is 12 percent U, approximately 100 times richer than ore mined at Elliot Lake, Ontario. The Bruce reactors 5 and 6 and Pickering reactor 7 have been brought into service. A 2 MWt SLOWPOKE reactor being built at Whiteshell Nuclear Research Establishment is a prototype of small intrinsically safe reactors for heat production and electricity generation for remote communities. The Canadian Nuclear Association and Society continue to inform the public about the benefits of nuclear energy
