Pakistan Karachi Nuclear Power Plant Unit K-3 Connected to Grid After Major Overhaul
en.Wedoany.com Reported - At 03:30 local time on September 7, 2026, Unit K-3 of the Karachi Nuclear Power Plant in Pakistan was successfully connected to the grid. Since the unit was disconnected from the grid on July 1, 2026 for this major overhaul, the Chinese and Pakistani teams have worked closely together to successfully complete all maintenance tasks.
This major overhaul involved heavy workloads and multiple critical points. The CNNC Overseas Operation and Maintenance team planned and deployed in advance, refined the overhaul plan, coordinated and allocated various resources, clarified responsibilities, and implemented dynamic tracking with daily work reviews. They efficiently completed key tasks including the modification of the lower-pressure cylinder lower half heat shield, UPS preventive maintenance, containment spray pipeline maintenance, emergency air compressor emergency repair, and technical guidance for turbine overhaul, eliminating equipment hazards and consolidating the foundation for safe unit operation.
In addition, the CNNC Overseas Operation and Maintenance team fully leveraged the fine tradition of "passing on experience, providing guidance, and setting examples," with technical backbones personally guiding young employees in identifying hazards, learning skills, and solving problems, conducting "hands-on training" through high-frequency on-site inspections.
At present, the unit is steadily increasing its operating power as planned. CNNC Overseas Operation and Maintenance Company will continue to uphold the service philosophy of "treating it as our own," providing 7×24-hour technical support and assurance, closely monitoring all operating parameters of the unit, and making every effort to ensure the safe, stable, reliable, and continuous operation of the unit.
