Pakistan is preparing to construct its largest nuclear power plant, the Chashma Nuclear Power Plant Unit 5 (C-5), with a capacity of 1200 MWe. Approved by the Pakistan Nuclear Regulatory Authority (PNRA), this facility is aimed at bolstering the country's electricity generation capacity. The Pakistan Atomic Energy Commission initiated the process in April by submitting a comprehensive Preliminary Safety Assessment Report and other operational documentation. This project reflects Pakistan's commitment to expanding its nuclear energy infrastructure while adhering to safety protocols.
