'After 2001 Parliament attack, India deployed nuclear missiles on border'

[illusion8]

Hahahahah... Really, keep coming up with such stuff.....You are making my weekend.

So u really believe a Pakistani scientist is better than an Indian scientist.

@illusion8, why you guys are planning to import uranium from RSA? You have your own piles, right?

 

[illusion8]

On a second note why are you planning to export uranium from RSA?

What do you mean by export to South Africa?, never heard India's exporting to SA, I thought we are importing from them.

Not yet buddy

The government has allocated Rs22 billion [US$ 255 million] for 25 new and ongoing projects of the Pakistan Atomic Energy Commission (PAEC), including detailed exploration of uranium resources in Bannu Basin and Kohat Plateau. (The News International June 4, 2011)

Pakistan's government has prepared a $600 million extensive plan for exploring and mining uranium deposits in the country to fuel future nuclear power plants (NPPs). Informed sources told Dawn that uranium deposits so far discovered in 'Siwalik rocks' in some parts of central Punjab were of low grade. However, by applying new mining technique, good quality uranium could be produced at a competitive rate with a view to progressively developing the uranium mining sector. The mineral sector is required to produce 350 tons of yellow cake (U3O8) per year by 2015 for meeting one-third requirements of the planned NPPs. The mining of uranium will be undertaken at three sites -- Bannu Basin, Suleman Range-3 and Suleman Range-4 in Dera Ghazi Khan -- to produce the required fuel for NPPs. Through these NPPs, the government wants to produce 8,800 MW of electricity by 2030. (Dawn March 1, 2007)

On June 24, 2004, the Central Development Working Party (CDWP) of the Planning Commission has approved a uranium resources exploration project, which will cost Rs614.1 million (US$ 11 million). The project is "to ensure indigenous supply of uranium against abrupt suspension of such foreign supplies in the future". (Dawn July 11, 2004)

Are you sure you never heard? My bad importing rather

those are low grade Uranium, not weapons grade, We can see Indian figures in your list as well. Thanx

I guess our requirements are much more than what we have.

Again I don't know what u mean by never heard, if i never heard that India's exporting than I never heard that but i definitely know India's importing from SA.

where is wrriten abut grades?

Likewise we have our deterrence up and running, and the technology is up and running - so stop crying.

where is wrriten abut grades?

The Wahi Pandi, Karunuk (Sehwan), and Rehman Dhora (Aamri) mines in the, Kirthar Range, Sindh and the Shanawah Deposit, Karak in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province are being opened up to meet Pakistan's rising need for uranium, which these sources are issuing at a ore grade: 0.04% Uranium mineral purity rate. The Baghalchur site has several abandoned mines and is now being used as a industrial dumping ground.

U said that.

Informed sources told Dawn that uranium deposits so far discovered in 'Siwalik rocks' in some parts of central Punjab were of low grade.

I said this.

Pakistan has 1,000 uranium reserves: report
Monday, April 16th 2007

Pakistan Atomic Energy Commission has claimed to have discovered around 1,000 uranium favourable sites, which could provide the required fuel for its proposed nuclear power plants.

Four of the 1000 sites were being mined and another nine with potential uranium reserves had been identified as very promising, Dawn quoted officials as saying.

“The effort was rewarded with the discovery of a large number of sites, which have indicated their potential for hosting uranium reserves,” it said, quoting a latest official document.

It said that uranium favourable rocks constituted 12 per cent of the total areas of Pakistan.

“More than 65 per cent of the favourable sites have been scanned through airborne gamma-spectrometric and foot radiometry surveys for its potential, while 35 per cent is yet to be checked,” the document said.

The initial exploration will be carried out throughout Pakistan using airborne, car-borne, foot survey, geo-chemical and geo-physical techniques to delineate anomalous sites.

After delineation of anomalous sites, a detailed exploration will be carried out by means of exploratory drilling to establish uranium reserves.

The officials said the PAEC had finalised a plan to establish more than 6,000 tons of reasonably assured reserves of uranium by 2011 to fulfil the one-third requirement of fuel for producing 8,800mw of nuclear power.

They said the government was expected to make available Rs 4.5 billion to the PAEC to implement a five-year uranium exploration programme (2006-2011) in the four provinces.

The plan is expected to ensure indigenous supply of fuel for country’s future needs. An increased nuclear power will facilitate the overall industrial as well as infrastructure development.

A separate provision will be required for mining projects discovered as a result of these investigations.

“It is estimated that 350 tons of yellow cake (U3O8) will be required annually to achieve the target of 8,800mw of nuclear power. Therefore, the initiation of effort to bridge the gap between demand and supply of nuclear fuel is the need of the time,” the document said.

The exploration to establish additional uranium reserves will be carried out through the establishment of mineral sector of the PAEC, including the Atomic Energy Minerals Centre, Lahore, and Detailed Exploration for Uranium projects in Kohat and Dera Ghazi Khan.

At present there are two nuclear power plants, which produce 380mw of electricity — 80mw KANUPP and 300mw CHASNUPP-1. For these, the PAEC mineral sector is partially fulfilling the requirement of uranium.

The document said that country’s electricity supply and demand gap needed to be bridged with additional generation of electricity through various sources — hydro, thermal, nuclear and solar.

The share of nuclear sector is presently very low for which the PAEC has embarked upon a programme for the installation of several nuclear power plants in the coming years.

Yes..We are securing the supplies for reactors...India badly needs Fuel for the reactors...

Sorry..Did not realise a troll fest was On...Carry on guys..

wait a sec why are we talking about uranium how many nuclear strike can pak absorp why we need and endless number of nukes let the bankcorrupt expand and maintain its nukes after all india is a huge country and real pakistan is panjab and parts of sindh balochistan and fata are agianst them poor pakistan cant contain them and dreaming to fight india aand the rest is ours "***"

Likewise we have our deterrence up and running, and the technology is up and running - so stop crying.

your deterrence will be useless in about 5 years the nuclear blackmail will cease to exist because of our ABM development in about 15 years any of your missiles will be turned to dust from our laser based missile defense and by technology you are referring to what North Korea and China gave you?

do yourself a favor watch and learn in nuclear war your 2KT nukes will only maim us whereas Pakistan will be wiped of the face of the earth

LoL - stop crying little indian, don't do panga and our nukes will not destroy your country, Ok. And also glad that Pakistani journalists even less known ones, are very popular in india. Makes one proud.
