ABSTRACT

By the 1960s, French uranium geologists were prospecting on every continent. This paper considers the link between this form of ‘nuclear reach’ and the weapons tests, reactor sales, and scientific exchanges that characterised the French programme. The shifting status of uranium during the early nuclear age and the prospection of uranium by French geologists reveals much about the evolving ambitions of the French nuclear leadership. Geophysics and ore concentration, alongside nucleonics and reactor design, were lynchpin techniques of this era, and the diplomatic and commercial stakes involved were central to the calculations of the French nuclear leadership.

核覆盖范围:铀矿勘探和法国核计划的全球野心,1945-65

摘要

到 1960 年代,法国铀矿地质学家已在各大洲进行勘探。本文考虑了这种“核覆盖”形式与法国计划的特点的武器试验、反应堆销售和科学交流之间的联系。铀在早期核时代的地位变化和法国地质学家对铀的勘探揭示了法国核领导层不断发展的雄心。地球物理学和矿石浓缩,以及核子学和反应堆设计,是这个时代的关键技术,所涉及的外交和商业利益是法国核领导层计算的核心。
