Under a 1968 agreement between Atomic Energy of Canada Limited and the ' French Commissariat A L'Energie Atomique, the latter will buy plutonium extracted from the fuel, for use in experimental power reactors. During the "burning" of uranium fuel in a reactor some of the Uraniuth is changed into plutonium. A residue of this plutonium can be recovered from spent fuel and used as a fuel in other reactors. The agreement provides for the application of international safeguards, including' inspection; to ensure the plutonium is Used qnly for peaceful purposes. The Douglas Point shipment, consisting of 320 fuel bundles weighing a total of ksixItons, is being transported '1'5 three special containers. Handling the shipment is Transnuclear Inc., a company specializing in international shipment Of nuclear materials. The containers were taken by truck to 5: Toronto, where they were loaded on board a ship for F. - Europe. 22 - Two previous shipments of spent fuel have been made under the 1968 agreement, both of them from the ,Nuclear Power Demonstration Station at Rolphton, Ontario Three Rs will cost more Total cost of bducation in Canada for 1970-71 is estimated . to grow by 14 percent to $7,635,000,000, according to * School Progress magazine in a report based on the latest DominiOn Bureau of Statistics estimates. Despite Modest growth in §chool population, the sharp rise • results from growth concentrated in the more expensive educational institutions -- high schools, colleges arid universities. Fewer dropouts is a factor in the increase. Average cost for each enrolthent is up '12 percent - $1,206 per student this year; $1,080 last year. Enrolment in elementary sclioel. is increasing qnly school enrolment goes up about four percent. In colleges and universities the increase iS about 10 percent. . The reduced dropout rate is revealed by the fact that the_ estiinated secondary and post -secondary scifool growth is greater than expected on the basis of population age -group statistics. First glimmerings of a slowdown in the expansion of schools and costs is seen 'in kindergartetr,- where enrolment, shows a one percent decline to 355,800.
