KARACHI : The Karachi Nuclear Power Plant (Kanupp) resumed 70 MW power supply to KESC at 1031 hours on Wednesday. Kanupp was shutdown on May 19, 2008 due to loss of KESC grid.

According to Kanupp spokesman, after the shutdown, extensive maintenance activities including inspection of Fuel Channels (Grayloc Seal area), replacement of Primary Heat Transport System Pump Motors etc were carried out. These were essential safety requirements by the regulator before plant startup.

Plant has now been connected with KESC grid and at present it is operating at 70 MW. Output will be gradually increased to the previous power level of 90 MW, he added. PPI (Pakistan Press International), 2008
