Thanks for your answers guys.
This made me sad as a Turk. Pakistan had a lucky head-start in the nuclear technology field and now has a golden opportunity to capitalize on it by exporting commercial services to the rest of the Islamic world (starting with Turkey and S.A.) and beyond. It doesn't need the be the cutting edge stuff so long as it's cost-effective and a good value for the customer. It also doesn't have to be reactors and complete powerplants in the beginning. It can start with academic training programs, certification, it can sell uranium, heavy water, fuel rods, canisters, reactor parts, buy back spent fuel for recycling, offer safe storage services, sky's the limit.
What exactltly is holding Pakistan back from joining the IAEA, NSG, NPT, ant whatever other relevant organization is necessary to join to make it possible to become active commercially?
Why not partner up with China? With Canada? With Russia? Why not incorporate joint companies with theirs and gain from experience to one day go fully independent?
Turkey's spending $22+ billion on the Akuyu NPP, a lot of which is going to Russia. We would've really liked it if at least some of that went to Pakistan, even as subcontractors.
