Nuclear Energy
Pakistan has approximately 6,000 tons of reasonably assured uranium reserves and currently produces 8,800 megawatts of electricity through nuclear power. It has 3 operating nuclear reactors and 2 more under construction, giving it a total nuclear capacity of 725 megawatts as of 2010 and relying on nuclear for about 3.8% of its total electricity production. The document then provides tables on global nuclear power production and lists some key nuclear power plant components, fuel sources, and siting considerations.
