complications In Exchange Of Atomic Secrets

OTTAWA. Feb. 5--(CP)-It may complicate life in Canadian atomic plants when Canada starts getting United States secrets she can't pass,on to other countries. a government official said today.

The complications would comn from Canada's policy of turning over her atomic information in Britain since she would likely hr- barrcd from turning over the new categories of information. This could lead in introduction for Ill.- first time of partial bars to visit- ing Brilish scientists.

A new exchange of atomic in- formation between Canada and the United States was announced last week. At Chalk River today an official said reports that the lnterchange affected the project there are at least premature. con- sequently there is no reason as yet to bar security-npprovcd British scientists from any part of the plant.

He said last week's announce- ment is understood to have af- fected the government's uranium- mining Eldorado Mining and Re- fining Co.. reported eager to hire a U. S. firm to build a new rc- finery.
