[ RadSafe ] Metric Tonne

[FISHER Spencer -NUCLEAR]

If a Metric Tonne is 1000 Kg = 2205 lb. then 550 metric tonne =
1,212,750 lb.  So I do not understand the calculation below.

By my calculation, the 550 metric tonnes U amounts to 1,430,000 lbs U3O8
having a commercial value of $107,250,000 at $75 / lb U3O8.  As memory
serves, I think that most of this material came from byproduct
phosphoric acid production from the marine phosphorites in Iraq similar
to those in Israel and Syria. "
