| 2010-04-30 |
| BEIJING: China has agreed to build two new civilian nuclear reactors in Pakistan, a report said on Thursday. Chinese companies will build at least two new 650-megawatt reactors at Chashma, The Financial Times said. China began building a reactor at Chashma in 1991 and broke ground on a second one in 2005, which will be completed next year, it said. “Our Chinese brothers have once again lived up to our expectations,' The Financial Times quoted a Pakistani official as saying of the deal, which would help Pakistan cope with a crippling energy crisis. “They have agreed to continue cooperating with us in the nuclear energy field,' he said. Last year, Shanghai Nuclear Engineering Research and Design Institute said it had been hired to design the two new reactors. |
