Should Pakistan start making its own nuclear plants?

[khansaheeb]

we dont have the tech to make a nuclear power plant yet, and also we want something that is proven. We dont want another chernobyl on our hands

As long as they make them far away from populated areas that should be ok, every country has to start somewhere and build up their experience.

It takes money folks. Developing an indigenous nuclear reactor design would alone cost more than 6 billions PKR in R&D. This is the major hurdle. Another one might be the design of class 1 level Pumps. For the rest of the components and stages of nuclear power plant construction, expertise has been achieved.

And, I dont see there is any need to go for indigenous design currently. After completion of K2 and K3, and subsequently C5 (probable), we wont be needing too much of nuclear electricity sources. Also, there is no foreseeable potential of export in this field as hardly anyone would buy our nascent designs. So, there is no considerable practical motive to spend this much of resources just to look scientific. Our plutonium demands are also being met with ease in Khushab.

I am not saying that this is an entirely useless field. But, we should go for indigenous nuclear power plant after we are done with other more important jobs.

We can't even make our own rifles!

Let's first try to save that only largest steel mill. Nuke plants are light years ahead

Stop using internet and start working hard until you are allowed to visit Khushab.

I deleted mine, maybe I didn't wrote it well enough

Only to make a fucntional, reactors we need materials, metallurgy above all we need a sound organization
