The mining activity near Lo-an, China (27-34N 115-53E), described
in the "P.I. NOTES" issue of 18 March 1966, can be upgraded from a
possible to a probable uranium mining area. Supporting collateral
information acquired since that time corroborates the evidence observed
on photography. The collateral report also mentions preliminary ore
refining. The need for a more refined ore may be the reason for a rail-
served plant under construction 4 nm north of the mines. This plant is
a suspect uranium ore-processing mill. (TOP SECRET RUFF)

at a previously reported SCR-270 radar site located at Meng-Hsi, China
(22-03N 100-15E), approximately 15 nm east of the Burma border. Most
of the construction has taken place along an access road leading to the
secured SCR-270 radar site. This construction includes 2 small bunkered
probable buildings, each with an opening and access way at one end
trapezoidal-shaped road pattern. A new loop road has been constructed
functional identification of this new activity can be made at this time,
although it is probably associated with the existing radar.

A search of the Stranik (49-33N 18-00E) -- Novy Jicin (49-36N
18-OlE) region of Czechoslovakia for an alleged heavy water production
facility has revealed that a plant of this type cannot be identified in
this area. However, a rail-served, secured installation, military in
nature, is located at 49-34N 18-OlE, near Stranik. Available collateral
sources indicate that this installation is involved in the production/

25X1D Analysis of reveals a new
road under construction, bypassing the Xom Ca Trang highway bridge
25X1A on North Vietnamese Route 15, 17.6 nm north of
Mu Gia Pass. The new road intersects Route 15 at UTM WE 862857 and
runs southwest along the west bank of the Rau Cai River. At UTM
WE 849844 the road crosses the Rau Cai River and continues southeast
along the east bank of the river, rejoining Route 15 at UTM WE 860832.
At the point where the bypass road crosses the Rau Cai River
(UTM WE 849844), a new bridge is in the midstage of construction. The
bridge is approximately 180 feet long and 10 feet wide, with 13
probable rock-filled cribs serving as piers. The deck has not been
constructed. (CONFIDENTIAL)
