Nuclear Power Plants In Pakistan
Nuclear Power Generation In Pakistan
• Pakistan has a small nuclear power program,with725MWe capacity
but is moving To increase this substantially.
• Pakistan's nuclear weapons capabilities of has arisen independently
of the civil nuclear fuel cycle using indigenous uranium.
• Because Pakistan is outside the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty
due to its weapons program it is largely excluded from trade in
nuclear plant or materials
• which hinders its development of civil nuclear energy . However
China is positive about nuclear cooperation with Pakistan
Nuclear Power Generation In Pakistan
• Pakistan in 2012 produced 96 billion kWh of electricity, 35 TWh of this
from oil, 27 from natural gas and 30 from hydro.
• Nuclear power makes a small contribution to total energy production
and requirements, supplying only 4.6 TWh (4.7% of total electricity
generated in 2012).
• Consumption in 2012 was about 77 billion kWh after 16%
transmission losses. There was virtually no import or export.
• Total installed capacity is about 20 GWe, but often only about 12 GWe
is operable.
• In 2005 an Energy Security Plan was adopted by the government,
calling for a huge increase in generating capacity to more than 160
GWe by 2030.
• Significant power shortages are reported, and load shedding is
common.
• In July 2013 the Executive Committee of the National Economic
Council (ECNEC) approved 3.5 GWe of new power projects
totalling Rs 1303 billion ($13 billion), comprising 2200 MWe
nuclear, 425 MWe gas combined cycle, and 969 MWe hydro.
• These are designed to reduce the high reliance on oil and to reduce
power costs.
• All depend on Chinese support.
• The NUPG directorate oversees the operational units and the NUPP
directorate is concerned with design and construction of planned
units, and is closely aligned with the Nuclear Regulatory Authority
(PNRA).

CHASNUPP - II
• The 325 MW unit 2, (CHASNUPP-II) is like CHASNUPP-I , having the
same size, technology and location .
• Unit 2 was officially inaugurated on 10 May 2011 by former Prime
Minister Yousaf Raza Gillani.
•
CHASNUPP - III

• On 28 April 2009 a general engineering and design contract for

CHASNUPP-3 and CHASNUPP-4 was signed with Shanghai Nuclear
Engineering Research and Design Institute (SNERDI).
• The units will both have generation capacity of 340 MW and a design life
of 40 years.
• On 6 March 2013 the dome of the third reactor was lifted into place.
• The 340 MW Unit 3 (CHASNUPP-3) was officially inaugurated on 28
December 2016 by Former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif.
• The reactor type is CNP-300.
CHASNUPP - IV
• CHASHNUPP-4 has been connected to national grid on 29 June,
2017 .
• Formal inauguration is to be held on 08 September, 2017 by Prime
Minister of Pakistan, Shahid Khaqan Abbasi.
• The reactor type is also CNP-300.
CHASNUPP - V
• On March 2013, Pakistan and China agreed to build a fifth unit
(CHASNUPP-5).
• It will be an ACP-1000.
• All Nuclear Power Projects, including Chashma-III have been approved by
Pakistan Nuclear Regulatory Authority for Nuclear Safeguards as per
International Atomic Energy Agency agreements thereby maintaining
highest safety standards.
• The project will also contribute to the overall economic development of the
country through energy supply to industrial and commercial sectors.
•
CHASNUPP Cost
KANUPP –II &III
• Karachi Nuclear Power Projects K-2 and K-3 will add a total of 8,800
MW electricity to the National Grid by 2030 as Mid-Term target
for Pakistan Atomic Energy Commission.
