Pakistan allegedly began constructing a uranium enrichment plant in Golra in 1987. [1] In early 1988, there was little consensus in the intelligence community regarding the status of Golra, and Pakistani officials denied that construction of an enrichment plant was taking place.[2] No further open source information is available on Golra, and the status of a possible enrichment plant there is unknown.
