Introduction
Activity in the field of electronics at PINSTECH began soon after the installation and commissioning of PAKISTAN RESEARCH REACTOR (PARR-1) in 1965. Electronics Division was formally established in 1967, recognizing its important role in scientific research and development at PINSTECH. The Division has rendered valuable service to the scientific effort by carrying out maintenance of scientific equipment and development of electronic instruments for use in research and development projects. An outstanding achievement was the design and engineering of nuclear instrumentation of research reactor ( PARR-1) which required a very high degree of sophistication and reliability. The reactor has now completed about a decade of excellent performance with the indigenous instrumentation and controls.
