Pakistani experts raise question about nuclear power project

Since the reactors at the Karachi complex will be the first of a kind, no one knows how safe they will be or how well they will work, the article said.

The 20 million people of Karachi are being used as subjects in a giant nuclear safety experiment, the experts contended.

The article said an analysis in 2011 by Nature science magazine and Columbia University in New York showed that the nuclear reactor site in Karachi has more people living within 30 km than any other reactor site in the world.  

It found there were eight million people living within this distance of the site in Karachi.

All of the port city falls within 40 km of the reactor site.
