An unnamed Pakistan Atomic Energy Commission official was quoted as saying by The News the agency is in the process of carrying out the seismic survey of the coastal area where the nuclear plants are to be installed.
"Our objective is to increase the nuclear electricity share in the current electricity mix-up to six percent from the existing two percent," the Pakistan Atomic Energy Commission official said.
Pakistan plans to generate 8,800MW from nuclear power plants, under the nation’s energy security plan for 2005-2030.
The agency has identified six locations for building nuclear power plants – Qadirabad Headworks, Dera Ghazi Khan canal near Taunsa Barrage, Taunsa-Punjnad canal near Multan, Nara canal near Sukkur, Pat Feeder canal near Guddu and Kabul river near Nowshera.
