PARIS (AP) — Britain was re- ported Friday to have won the race to be first in taming the power released when hydrogen bombs burst.

Diplomats of three countries said the British government is‘ ' shortly‘

The discovery of British sci- entists working at the Harwell nuclear research station has been rumo r several weeks. The full implications cannot be known however, pending an announce- ment.

Britain, the United States and Canada are bound by an agree- ment to declassify nuclear sec- rets only after they are sure that

Soviet Union will not benefit from the new knowledge.

SOUGHT WAY FOR YEARS

it is known that British scl- entlsts have been working for years on methods to develop con- tainers able to withstand the tre- mendous heat let loose by s hy- drogen explosion.

if the British scientists have discovered way of containing and controlling the energy produced in hydrogen explosions. the in- dustrial and peaceful meaninzs would be difficult to measure. It might. for example. avoid the need to use scarce and costly uranium as a raw material.
