List of Nuclear Power Plants in Pakistan

Today we will discuss about List of Nuclear Power Plants in Pakistan. One of the most honored and prestigious facts regarding Pakistan is that it is one of the few countries that have Nuclear Power and is the only Muslim state in the world so far that has recognized atomic energy and nuclear power plants. As of 2012, nuclear power in Pakistan is provided by 3 licensed commercial nuclear power plants. Pakistan is the first Muslim country in the world that has been declared a nuclear power in the world and the one which has the official license to construct and operate civil nuclear power plants. The Pakistan Atomic Energy Commission which is known as the (PAEC), the scientific and nuclear governmental agency, is whole sole responsible for operating the procedures in these power plants.

As of 2012, the electricity generated by commercial nuclear power plants constitutes roughly 3.6% of electricity generated in Pakistan, compared to 62% from fossil fuel, 33% from hydroelectric power, and 0.3% from Coal electricity. Pakistan is one of the four nuclear-armed states (along with India, Israel, and North Korea) that is not a party to the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty but is a member in good standing of the International Atomic Energy Agency. In the above-mentioned table, there are the three official operating and constructed nuclear power plants in Pakistan while the remaining are still either in the feasibility or in the process of development. The table identifies the locations of the nuclear power plants and their net and gross capacity which is being calculated on the capacity of the plants. Further, all info about the List of Nuclear Power Plants in Pakistan is mentioned above.
