Khan autonomous control of the uranium enrichment project, reporting directly to the prime minister's office, which arrangement has continued since. But the pair fell out, and a long and bitter rivalry followed. These records are available to the public at the National Archives, Rocky Mountain Region, Bloomfield, Colorado. Atomic Energy Commission (AEC), (DOE, 1992). Khan initially worked under Munir Ahmad Khan's Pakistan Atomic Energy Commission for a short period. The purpose of this report is to record the best estimate of total ore production from this 52.36-acre plot and to point out an error in the official ore production records of the U.S. Munir Ahmad Khan had joined the IAEA in 1958, where he served in the division of nuclear power and reactors until moving to the PAEC. The Indian Atomic Energy Commission was set up on 3 August 1948 under the late Department of Scientific Research. The DAE is under the direct charge of the Prime Minister. On 20 January 1972, Bhutto appointed Munir Ahmad Khan head of the PAEC. The Atomic Energy Commission of India is the governing body of the Department of Atomic Energy (DAE), Government of India.

In an effort to accelerate Pakistan's overall economic development, the commission also promotes the utilization of nuclear technologies in other areas, i.e., to enhance agricultural production and The Atomic Energy Act of 1946 established the Atomic Energy Commission, putting the AEC in charge of all aspects of nuclear power. PAEC advocates increased nuclear energy generation to overcome serious energy shortages in a country substantially lacking in natural energy resources.
