After takeover of the plant on 25 September, 2000, CHASNUPP-1 is being operated by Pakistani Staff. The formation of the operation and maintenance team and conduct of training was carefully planned during the period when plant was in the construction phase. The plant staff was thoroughly trained in the basics of nuclear power in Pakistan as well as provided on-the-job training in China. The plant staff took active part in the installation and commissioning activities at the plant and worked side by side with their Chinese counterparts. The operation staff also received comprehensive training on the Full Scope Training Simulator (FSTS) and qualified for the license issued by the regulatory authority before assuming responsibility in the plant. 

Before the plant was put into operation, CHASNUPP-1 was subjected to comprehensive pre-operation audit by an IAEA Pre-OSART Mission consisting of 14 experts in various areas such as operation, maintenance, training, engineering support, safety, etc.
