Karachi Nuclear Power Plant (KANUPP)


Manpower Training 

The objective of manpower training is to qualify the operators and engineers to be capable of operating and maintaining KANUPP to the highest degree of excellence as required in a nuclear industry. To achieve this objective KANUPP has established its own training facilities:

  • KANUPP Institute of Nuclear Power Engineering (KINPOE)

  • In-Plant Training Centre (IPTC)

KANUPP Institute of Nuclear Power Engineering (KINPOE) formerly called Karachi Nuclear Power Training Centre (KNPTC) ever since its inception in 1972 has been providing trained engineers and technicians to KANUPP and other PAEC establishments.

KINPOE offers two programs for fresh engineers and diploma holders in all engineering fields. The fresh engineers undergo a two year course leading to a Master's degree in Nuclear Power Engineering from NED University of Engineering Technology. The diploma holders undertake a one year training program in the field of Nuclear Power Technology. Besides the main regular programs, KINPOE also conducts short courses on nuclear related subjects as and when demanded by any of the PAEC establishments.

To operate KANUPP, key shift personnel such as Senior Operation Engineer and Operation Foreman must be licensed by Directorate of Nuclear Safety and Radiation Protection (DNS&RP). The In-Plant Training Centre provides specialized training to shift personnel enabling them to clear the regulatory examinations and acquire operating licenses.

The centre also provides refresher training courses to shift personnel. Besides the regular training of shift personnel, batch training of operators and engineers is also conducted at the Centre. The standard of the training is ensured by a very strict training evaluation system.

 

Apart from the theoretical and practical training through KINPOE and In-Plant Training Centre the Plant personnel are regularly exposed to technical seminars, symposia, meetings and specialized training, arranged within the Plant as well as abroad through IAEA.
