In Pakistan, nuclear power makes a small contribution to total energy production and requirements, supplying only 2.4% of the country's electricity. Total generating capacity is 19,540 MWe and in 2005, 94 billion kWh was produced, 44% of it from gas.

The Pakistan Atomic Energy Commission (PAEC) is responsible for all nuclear energy and research applications in the country.

Its first nuclear power reactor is a small (125 MWe) Canadian pressurized heavy water reactor (PHWR) which started up in 1971 and which is under international safeguards - KANUPP near Karachi, which is operated at reduced power.

The second unit is Chashma-1 in Punjab, a 300 MWe pressurised water reactor (PWR) supplied by China's CNNC under safeguards. The main part of the plant was designed by Shanghai Nuclear Engineering Research and Design Institute (SNERDI), based on Qinshan-1. It started up in May 2000 and is also known as CHASNUPP-1.Now a days Mr. SHAMIM ANWAR KHAN is its (DG) Directer General.

Construction of its twin, Chashma-2, started in December 2005. It is reported to cost PKR 51.46 billion (US$ 860 million, with $350 million of this financed by China). A safeguards agreement with IAEA was signed in 2006 and grid connection is expected in 2011.
