Pakistan: China to Assist in Nuclear Plant Construction A Chinese delegation yesterday told Pakistani officials China would help Pakistan construct a third nuclear power plant, according to one of the leaders of Pakistan’s nuclear program (see GSN, Oct. 8). “China has shown its willingness to give us a new nuclear power plant,” said Ashfaq Ahmad, head of Pakistan’s Strategic Program. “We have energy problems so we want to enhance the contribution of nuclear energy.” The nuclear plant is to be constructed in Chashma, 225 kilometers southwest of Islamabad. Pakistan’s second nuclear plant, constructed with Chinese aid, is also located there, according to the Press Trust of India. The new nuclear plant will only be used for peaceful purposes, Ahmad said. Pakistan also has plans to build a fourth nuclear plant in Karachi, he said (Press Trust of India/Times of India, Oct. 29).
