Talks begin for 3 more nuclear Power plants from China

[waleed3601]

And you can start solar power plant in Thar desert too for more clean energy.

We already have 50MW Jhimpir plant in Thar.
For Solar Energy currently Quaid E Azam solar Power Park in development in Bahawalpur.
First stage of solar park will produce 100MW electricity with aim to gradually increase to 1000MW over the years.

These Nuclear stations will start production after.6-7 or more years and we need electricity today ! Iran and Central Asian states can supply us electricity and we need the Iran gas pipeline. But Saudi slave Nawaz will not deal with Iran.

Who gives a f*** if its clean , most of energy requirements of the us still produced by coal , same for india , hell even china uses coal , not coz its CLEAN but bcoz its CHEAP .

This is the pertinent question here. What kind of prices will these reactors be able to sell power at? High cost of nuclear power bedevils this industry the world over. Even with the Indo-US nuclear deal now cleared of hurdles on a governmental level there is still no guarantee many US reactors will be created in India unless they can prove themselves to be commercially viable in India. I don't see why the Chinese/Pakistani case would be any different.

I think apart from Power it has more to do with nuclear fissile material being produced by these reactors.

Please, this would be monitored by the IAEA and does the nation with the fastest growing nuclear weapon stockpile on the world really need more? If this deal really is just about making more WMDs then it highlights some very sick thinking inside Pakistan's establishment.

These reactors will have nothing to do with producing Fissile Materials. These plants will be under the supervision of IAEA, thus we cannot and will not produce any Fissile Materials. I believe plans are already underway to build another reactor in Khushab to produce more plutonium.

Understood. So the fissile material produced will be dumped?

 

[AFlover]

PAKISTAN NEED MORE DEBT TO PURCHASE THESE REACTOR.

I dont know why every time when pak attempt to make/buy/achieve or try to achieve any strategic milestone indian start worring our gdp/budget/loans.
Man if u dont have any sensible and informative piece of line to share then plz dont dicscuss things that r not relevant.
When had pakistan requested india for help or loan for such projects

Good initiative on the part of Pak govt to built more reactor with chines help

Really thats the best u could come up with.
What about all the previous so called projects the govt started and lo and behold just dumped them
I am not against nuclear power but why not go for coal , thar , remembe???
And gas being so cheap , why not get a pipeline from iran. Europe gets it from russia. But we cant get it from our nextdoor neighbour.

Well it is govt negligence if they can not explore all other source of energy but it does not mean that you can start criticizing any good project if initiated.
Let me tell you that there is more chances of completion this project on time than other because in nuclear projects political interference is almost none.

Hello NSG

 

[Hyperion]

Hi Pakistan. Most welcome!

Two grownups crying in the room.... guess who?

Hello NSG

 

[definitelynotIndian]

is China paying 13$ billion for these plants?

is China paying 13$ billion for these plants?

80% will be financed by China, if deal is similar to 2 plants in Karachi.
