The agreement signed by the two countries will use the Russian reactor to power the International Lunar Research Station (ILRS), which the two countries are jointly working on. The space station is expected to be completed by 2036, while news of the agreement comes at a time when the United States’ own lunar base plan is uncertain. Last year, the head of the Russian space agency Roscosmos, Yuri Borisov, said in an interview that the construction of the Chinese-Russian reactor would be automated without human presence. China has agreed to include 17 countries in the ILRS program, including Pakistan, Egypt, Venezuela, South Africa, Thailand and Azerbaijan.

What is a nuclear power station?

A nuclear power station is a specialized facility that uses nuclear energy to generate electricity. It uses nuclear reactions to generate large amounts of electricity, such as hydrogen or uranium. These stations produce electricity like conventional power plants, but they use nuclear reactions to generate energy, which are highly efficient and produce less waste.

Nuclear power stations are intended to meet the country’s energy needs, and are considered environmentally friendly due to their low carbon emissions. However, their safety and waste management are very important to avoid any accidents. Nuclear energy is being used as an important source of electricity generation in many countries around the world, including Pakistan.
