The letter reports information received from a reliable British businessman residing in Libya. According to the source, Russia has agreed to supply Libya with two additional 7-megawatt nuclear research reactors of the "Ulysses" type, in addition to the previously reported 10-megawatt reactor at Tajura. One reactor is said to be installed in Sirt, a town undergoing development to showcase Libyan progress. The letter also mentions a meeting with Mohammed Sassi Dauki, the Foreign Relations Director of the Libyan Atomic Energy Establishment, who discussed the operation of the research reactor at Tajoura and plans to send Libyan artisans for English language courses in the UK to maintain the research equipment. The letter speculates that with the mention of three research reactors, the number of artisans selected for training might not be unreasonable.
