The first reactor began full operations in 2006 and the second in 2007.

As these reactors begin their fourth decade they may, like an old car, be more prone to breakdown.

However, as these reactors began to age, it became clear that a new facility would be needed to continue the production of medical isotopes.

The country's first commercial nuclear reactor began operating in 1974.

The reactor, called Monju, will not begin operations until the fall of 1993, a year later than originally planned.

In 2008 negotiation on building four additional reactors at the site began.

The two other reactors would begin production by October 1991, he said.

According to a Pakistani press report this reactor began operating in early 1998.

The first reactor began operation on 18 April 2013.

Seven reactors began operating in 2011 and 19 were shuttered.
