Khushab reactor is not supplying power to National Grid.
 
Chashma Nuclear Power Complex (C4 Reactors), test grid connection on 25th June. Formal grid connection in July.
 
Fourth nuclear power plant . The Chinese-supplied pressurised water reactor (PWR) - the country's fifth power reactor - is expected to start up by the end of August.
A ceremony was held on 1 July to mark the unit's grid connection, China National Nuclear Corporation (CNNC) announced today. The ceremony was attended by representatives from the Pakistan Atomic Energy Commission and CNNC.

C-1: 325 MW, C-2: 330 MW, C-3: 340 MW, C-4: 200 MW.
C-4 Inauguration is end of this month.
 
Atomic Energy Commission (PAEC) will generate 8,800 MW electricity from nuclear resources by 2030.

According to official sources, the construction of fifth Chashma Nuclear Power Plant is underway while C-4 is on test run.
Similarly, work on K-2 and K-3 in Karachi is also underway while Karachi Nuclear Power Plant at Karachi and Chashma
Nuclear Power Unit one, two and three in Mianwali are operating with gross capacity of 1,090 MW.
PAEC is actively planning to develop additional sites to install future nuclear power plants.

great to hear that someone is working to end the energy short fall in the country do also tell are these reactor dual purpose or single power oriented reactor

THESE are single power oriented reactors.
 
China, Pakistan agree to uranium cooperation
31 July 2017

China and Pakistan have agreed to cooperate in uranium exploration and mining. China National Nuclear Corporation (CNNC) said it had signed a framework agreement with the Pakistan Atomic Energy Commission yesterday for technical cooperation in the exploration and development of uranium resources. China signed a similar agreement with Saudi Arabia earlier this year.

Under the new agreement, China's uranium industry will fully employ its technological advantages, its nuclear research institutes, nuclear chemistry industry, aerial remote sensing centre and other units in its cooperation with Pakistan.

CNNC, which said Pakistan is an "important bridge across the Middle East and South Asia", has already exported four 300 MWe reactors to that country and is constructing two 1000 MWe units. It said it is actively engaged in cooperation with Pakistan in uranium resources, nuclear technology applications, the training of workers and other areas.

In March, CNNC signed a memorandum of understanding with the Saudi Geological Survey regarding bilateral cooperation in uranium and thorium resources. Under the agreement, CNNC is to carry out exploration of nine potential areas in the Kingdom within the next two years. In late May, CNNC said it had completed the fieldwork phase and identified several target mineral areas for further investigation.

On 15 July, CNNC's Beijing Research Institute of Chemical Engineering and Metallurgy signed an agreement with Saudi Arabia's King Abdulaziz City for Science and Technology to collaborate in research on extracting uranium from seawater. According to that agreement, Saudi and Chinese researchers will conduct a two-year investigation.
 
PM inaugurates country's 5th nuclear power plant at Chashma


Prime Minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi on Friday inaugurated the country's fifth nuclear power plant C-4 at Chashma, Mianwali area, reported DawnNews.

The C-4 plant is capable of generating 340MW electricity.

Addressing the inauguration ceremony, PM Abbasi said that the project would help the country's energy problem.

The Chashma nuclear power projects units, C-1, C-2 and C-3 have already been successfully contributing to the national grid, he said, adding that two large nuclear power plants, K-2 and K-3, were also under construction that he hoped would be operational soon.

Abbasi said that the nuclear plants produce economical electricity; more power generation projects would be launched in Chashma and Muzaffarabad areas, he added.

The prime minister thanked the government of China for its cooperation and said that the projects could not have been completed without the support of Chinese people and the government.
