You are under a mis-impression: I never said, “that France was allowed to experience her first atomic tests, as a Eisenhower compension for having made France aborting the Suez campain.” (sic)

France built up her atomic program on the QT.

America was shocked as to just how fast and how CHEAPLY the French pulled it off.

IIRC, she did not use gaseous diffusion. Instead, liquid-liquid exchange was used.
