During this period, General Atomic was also testing its Doublet III fusion reactor, with the support both of the US DoE and the electric utility industry in the States (5).
Since General Atomic was both a supplier of, and a contractor for, uranium during the '70s, it ended up (like Westinghouse) being sued by utilities and itself suing uranium mining companies which didn't deliver.
By late 1978, General Atomic was in the position of having to supply, to three utilities, uranium which it couldn't secure because its own supplier, the UNC, ceased deliveries while the cartel was being investigated by a Senate committee.
