Pakistan in talks to buy Chinese nuclear reactors - report
LONDON, Tuesday (Reuters) Pakistan is in talks to buy up to eight
nuclear power reactors from China for between $7 billion and $10
billion, Britain's Financial Times reported on Tuesday.
Construction on the plants could start by 2015 and end 10 years
later, the newspaper said, quoting an unidentified senior Pakistani
official.
The new power stations would add 3,600-4,800 megawatts of capacity
using a series of 600 megawatt reactors, according to the report.
Pakistan's Prime Minister Shaukat Aziz formally launched construction
last week of a Chinese-supplied nuclear plant at Chashma in the eastern
province of Punjab. |
