Chashma Nuclear Power Plant Unit-1 (C-1) has operated without interruption for a record-breaking 427 days during Cycle 18, according to the Pakistan Atomic Energy Commission (PAEC). The 325MW C-1 set this new national record for the longest continuous operating cycle by a nuclear power plant in the country's history. The PAEC highlighted that C-1 maintained exceptional performance indicators, boasting a World Association of Nuclear Operators (WANO) Performance Indicator Index score of 100 during the first two quarters of 2026.
This achievement placed C-1 among the top nuclear power plants worldwide in terms of operational performance, reliability, and safety. The statement attributed this accomplishment to the technical expertise, discipline, and teamwork of the staff at the Chashma Nuclear Power Generating Station (CNPGS), supported by PAEC management's guidance and strict adherence to nuclear safety standards.
