    A nuclear power plant generates electricity through nuclear reactions using uranium fuel. It produces low greenhouse gas emissions and provides reliable energy for a long operating life, but also generates nuclear waste and carries environmental and safety risks. The Karachi Nuclear Power Plant in Pakistan began operating in 1972 with a capacity of 137 megawatts and is operated by the Pakistan Atomic Energy Commission.
