Pages 75-80 from FCO 372113 - the Nuclear policy of Pakistan 1978

Description

 

The document discusses the issue of stopping the shipment of inverters to Pakistan, which are believed to be intended for use in a clandestine centrifuge enrichment plant for a weapons program. The official group has examined the matter, and the Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) is interested in the recommendations to stop the order. The FCO recognizes that Pakistan already has the necessary technology to produce inverters and that delaying their program may be the best outcome. The FCO's focus is on non-proliferation efforts.
