US studying China-Pakistan nuclear dealWASHINGTON: The US on Monday said it was carefully reviewing China’s plans to build two civilian nuclear reactors in Pakistan, urging all nations to respect non-proliferation commitments.
The China National Nuclear Corporation has agreed to finance two more civilian reactors at Chashma, despite fears abroad about the safety of nuclear material in the country. US Deputy Secretary of State James Steinberg said discussions were underway over the issue and the US has not “reached a final conclusion”.
“But it’s something we’re obviously looking at very carefully,” he said. afp
