25X1 Approved F Release,2004/01/15: CIA-RDP80R01731R00110f4fOn3-61'3549 ? MEMORANDUM FOR MR. JACKSON Nuclear Energy Division, Office of Scientific Intelligence, submits its ATOMIC ENERGY INTELLIGENCE SUMMARY for October, which states that: There appears to be a fairly well publicized effort taking place to terminate employment of some German personnel in Wismut mining activities. Nuclear Energy Division comments that if current information on uranium mining activities by Soviets is correct, it is inconceivable that Soviets are curtailing their mining activities in Germany, as this area is still indicated as the most important source of uranium ore to Soviet Union atomic energy project. Press reports, but no official information, have been received on atomic energy plants in North Korea. It is known that large deposits of monazite are available and were being exploited. Uranium mining has been reported, but amounts available are considered to be quite small and of little or no significance. Approved For Rel ILLEGIB
