Credit goes to the good policies of the current Pak regime. Keeping Pak in good books of IAEA is extremely important.

ACCORDING to a report from Islamabad, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has given Pakistan the mandate to use extensively nuclear energy for civilian purposes. More significantly, the agency has offered substantial funding for 24 research projects. Coming a few days before the US categorically rejected Pakistan’s request for a civilian nuclear cooperation accord with Islamabad, the IAEA’s move acquires greater significance. Since Pakistan’s intent is to develop nuclear energy for peaceful civilian purposes, it should welcome the IAEA’s offer. Pakistan Atomic Energy The Commission has been doing good and useful work in the health, agriculture and industrial sectors. There are 13 institutes that are providing nuclear medicine facilities to the people suffering from cancer and allied diseases. Chashma and Kanupp have proved to be clean sources of energy while three institutes are working in the field of agriculture. The role of the PAEC in various vital sectors should not be underestimated. Unfortunately it has not received the importance it deserves because the focus has been so much on the manufacture of nuclear weapons.
