International Nuclear Watch & Discussion

[Amber G.]

Pakistan maintains a stockpile of uranium in Dera Ghazi Khan and is the location of the country's largest nuclear centre. There is a one old Uranium mine 40 km NW (Baghalchur) which is now used to store nuclear waste. (Site: BC1)

[Amber G.]

FWIW: (Some background):

The Dera Ghazi Khan site is home to the Pakistan Institute of Nuclear Science and Technology (PINSTECH), which is the country's leading nuclear research and development facility. PINSTECH operates a number of nuclear facilities at the site, including a research reactor, a nuclear fuel enrichment plant, and a nuclear waste management facility.

The Dera Ghazi Khan site is also home to a uranium mine, which was closed in 1990 but is now used to store nuclear waste. The waste is stored in a deep geological repository, which is designed to isolate it from the environment for thousands of years.

The Dera Ghazi Khan site is located in a remote area of Pakistan, and there is no significant population center within a 50-kilometer radius. This makes it an ideal location for nuclear facilities, reduced risk of accidents or attacks, or may be RAW )

The Dera Ghazi Khan site is a strategically important site for Pakistan's nuclear program. It plays a key role in the country's nuclear research and development, uranium enrichment, and nuclear waste management. The site is also home to a significant stockpile of nuclear materials.

Disclaimer - Pakistan does not publicly disclose information about its nuclear program or its nuclear facilities .. ... so take it for what ever it's worth..

Would not have the winds carried over fallout if any into India by now? And hence be detected?

Also should be easy to surreptitiously procure a ground sample from near vicinity?

[fanne]

I find it incredible that a missile test goes wrong and falls on a new clear facility. Not happening. Is it cover to steal some maal?

likely the Mossad or RAW did some " high speed recycling" of the centrifuges and whole enrichment plant went kaput. There would be tell tale signs that the pakis wont be able to hide..

"Explosions: In 2020, a mysterious explosion caused extensive damage at the Natanz centrifuge factory. In 2021, a second explosion destroyed the power supply and damaged underground centrifuges used to enrich uranium at Natanz."

also "sound barrier broken"



also begs the khewstyn "If it was just a Sonic Boom, why would you snap internet, rush Ambulances and Security Forces to the said area??"

The reporter can be heard saying that the explosion was so powerful that its sound was heard for several kilometers and windows/walls of houses were broken.

" Massive explosion at Pakistan Army's nuclear facility in DGKhan heard up to 50 km away. Urgent evacuation. Sources says #
CyberAttack resulted in explosion that's why Internet shutdown"

[Tanaji]

Let’s not being in Indian involvement unnecessarily. We have a treaty with Pak to not attack their nuclear facilities. We have stuck to it, and there is no reason to believe that’s not the case now.

"high explosive test" .. how convenient

as long as they dont say the n word everyone should be happy

[hnair]

And they were NOT preparing for it over last few months…. Just woke up brushed teeth and burst one <wink, wink>

Nuclear fission plant reached a milestone

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-o ... e-68723533

This seems to be a different way of initiating fusion. How do they reach the energies required for fusion to occur? Or is it that this is simply a controlled thermonuclear device where a gun type fission device initiates the fusion? Why is everybody using lasers instead? Also you would need strong magnetic field for containment regardless?

Perhaps AmberG can comment?
