Also known as PAKISTAN ATOMIC ENERGY COMMISSION

The Pakistan Atomic Energy Commission (PAEC) is a federal agency of the Government of Pakistan, established in 1956, responsible for nuclear research and development and for nuclear power. It operates the country's commercial nuclear power plants at Karachi and Chashma. The IAEA World Survey of Fusion Devices lists it as the operator of four small spherical tokamaks: GLAST-III and MT-1, recorded as operating, MT-2, under construction, and PST, planned.

Sector: Fusion, Fission
Role: Government programme, Operator

It is the operator of record for 4 devices, 2 of them operating.
