Pakistan might have done some research in 70's and 80's now they have stopped. Now that technology is out dated. My question is Pakistan is buying very expensive reactors without ToT i wonder why?I dont know enough about these things but Pakistan has nuclear capable warheads developed inhouse so claiming that pak has zero research is IMO not true. Then theres a program of development of a nuclear reactor for submarine. Pak might not have enough knowledge to develop a 1000MW inhouse reactor but still might develop a small 100MW reactor.
Not in this case. The spent fuel will be stored per IAEA safeguards from what I understand.
Separation of the civilian and military nuclear programs and complying with IAEA safeguards and best practices is necessary for Pakistan to continue making a case for NSG membership and have continued international cooperation in the civilian nuclear power sector.
I believe even the Chinese reactor is based on a French design (with improvements).
Pakistan's limited resources have been directed into the nuclear weapons program.
But why buying so expensive ?Two reactor for 9.5 billion dollars are they crazy or what in that amount they could build at least 3 of them without any ToT and thing is technology is limited to military no input/exploration allowed for civilian like Russia. We must learn from China and America every involvement of civilian is there and they can get benefit from it for civilian uses.
