Απόρρητο έγγραφο: Καραμανλής Aνακάλυψη εμπορικά εκμεταλλεύσιμων κοιτασμάτων ουρανίου στη βόρεια Ελλάδα, 1979
Στα μέσα του 20ού αιώνα, ανακαλύφθηκαν μεγάλες ποσότητες ουρανίου στην περιοχή των Σερρών.
Το ουράνιο είναι ένα σπάνιο μέταλλο που χρησιμοποιείται κυρίως για την παραγωγή πυρηνικής ενέργειας.
Η CIA έχει απορρήτα έγγραφα που αναφέρονται στην Ελλάδα, σε κάποιο από αυτά ο πρωθυπουργός Καραμανλής μιλάει για την ανακάλυψη εμπορικά εκμεταλλεύσιμων κοιτασμάτων ουρανίου στη βόρεια Ελλάδα, επαρκή για την κάλυψη των αναγκών του ελληνικού σχεδιαζόμενου πυρηνικού σταθμού παραγωγής ηλεκτρικής ενέργειας της Ελλάδας.

FOR 25 YEARS.
3. GREECE'S DEMOCRITUS NUCLEAR RESEARCH CENTER AND THE
INSTITUTE OF GEOLOGICAL AND MINING RESEARCH (IGME) WHICH
HAVE BEEN SEARCHING FOR URANIUM OVER THE PAST FIVE YEARS IN
MACEDONIA AND EPIRUS HAVE BEEN VERY GUARDED ABOUT THEIR
ACTIIVITIES. THE PRIME MINISTER'S STATEMENT, THEREFORE,
IS THE FIRST POSITIVE REPORT ON THE EXISTENCE OF URANIUM
DEPOSITS OF COMMERCIAL IMPORTANCE IN GREECE. IGME OFFICIALS,
MEANWHILE, ARE AVOIDING COMMENT ON THE URANIUM FIND BUT
WE HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT A MORE ACCURATE ASSESSMENT OF
THE SERRES DEPOSIT WILL BE AVAILABLE SOMETIME IN DECEMBER
THIS YEAR.
4. AMONG THE OTHER MINERAL FINDINGS ANNOUNCED BY KARAMANLIS
WERE: A NEW 750 MILLION TON LIGNITE DEPOSIT IN PTOLEMAIS;
NEW ASBESTOS AND CHROMITE DEPOSITS AT KOZANI; PHOSPHATE
DEPOSITS IN EPIRUS; IRON ORE ON THE ISLAND OF SERIPHOS; AND
IRON ORE AND LEAD AND ZINC DEPOSITS ON THE ISLAND OF THASSOS.
WITH REGARD TO THE NEW LEAD AND ZINC DEPOSITS LOCATED BY
IGME IN THASSOS AND, PREVIOUSLY, IN THRACE, INDUSTRY AND
ENERGI MINISTER EVERT SAID THAT THEY ARE LARGE ENOUGH TO
SUPPLY A 60,000 - 70,000 TON/YEAR CAPACITY LEAD AND ZINC
METALLURGY.
