The Pakistan Nuclear Regulatory Authority (PNRA) has issued an operating licence for the Kanupp-3 nuclear power plant, the newest of Pakistan’s six commercial power reactors.
The licence was granted after a comprehensive review and inspection process and the “successful resolution of all pertinent regulatory issues” related to the China-supplied Hualong One plant, also known as Karachi, a statement said.
In April 2022 Kanupp-3, in the Sindh region of southeastern Pakistan, became the world’s fourth Hualong One unit to achieve commercial status and the second outside China.
