China assisted Pakistan to build 6 nuclear reactors: Wang Xiaotao

[Saifullah Sani]

China has assisted Pakistan to build six nuclear reactors with a total installed capacity of 3.4 million kilowatts, a top Chinese official said today as Beijing plans to build two 1100 mw reactors inKarachi with $6.5 billion assistance.

Outlining China's nuclear technology exports, Wang Xiaotao, vice minister of theNational Development and Reform Commission (NDRC), said the country is involved in initial discussions with several countries on the possibility of exporting its nuclear power equipment.

China is currently exporting nuclear technology to Pakistan and Argentina, he said.

"China has assisted Pakistan to build six nuclear reactors to generate 3.4 million KW of power," he said, without giving details.

China has built two 300 MW reactors at Chasma in Pakistan's Punjab province followed by two 320 MW units at the same place.

It has also announced plans to construct for the first time two 1100 MW reactors in Karachi.

India and the United States have expressed concern that the two reactors are being built without the sanction of the Nuclear Suppliers Group (NSG), which supervises the global civil nuclear technology commerce.

India had secured the NSG waiver in 2008 after the India-US civil nuclear deal.

China signed a landmark deal with Argentina on Wednesday to build a pressurised water reactor (PWR) nuclear power plant there.

"It did not take long for us from introducing this (nuclear) technology to exporting it," Wang said.

Clearly China is backing out of Pakistani energy projects, I mean, what more proof do you need? /sarcasm

'CHINA ASSISTED PAKISTAN TO BUILD 6 NUCLEAR REACTORS'

Oh, but India is so much better with the signing of Nuclear cooperation with USA.....look what they'll have....nuclear reactors....look what we will have....nuclear reactors........duh!

 

[VelocuR]

Pakistan get 5x times deals with China more than India just get one deal with US, i.e nuclear reactors and cooperation.

LMAO exactly. When Pakistan has nuke reactors they are from China. When India has nuke reactors they are Indian.

Now you will hear the bloody cries of hindis.

They are backing of because they are tired of corrupt politicians ruling Pakistan. Both PPP & PML-N have only damaged relationships with China.

They have the privilege and honour of sharing their nuclear data with uncle sam too.

This is old news. The electricity produced by these reactors will help reduce load shedding.

We should asked Russia to build some power plant

+ PTI dharna effects and now Chinese President is not visiting Pakistan.

India has made it own nuclear reactors (or so they say!), wants to sell them abroad and have -even- new nuclear reactors and technology based on torium!!! So what are the basis of the deal with the US? If it is to buy new reactor technologies , that means the indian reactors are inefficient and its technologies are difficient.

 

[Zoro]

There is something good happening in Pakistan discuss on that why bring India into that?

indians indogenously reacters but there power output is less than 500 mw the newest one they are building has some 700 mw
we also have the ability to built reacters with output of 350-400 mw
but these are our designs and are not upto date with todays tech these nuclears deals will allow india to get the latest tech from nuclear suppliers group so they can build better and efficient reacters

We should asked Russia to build some power plant



+ PTI dharna effects and now Chinese President is not visiting Pakistan.

soviets and later russians did offered to establish a 1000+ mw reacter in pakistan in early 90s but BB
decided to go foe france that deal never meterialized because of the sanctions

Why not R&D on thorium based reactors?
