Abstract: Nuclear power operating organizations and regulatory bodies (RB's) are facing problems related to shortage of technical and experienced human resources due to the dearth of new developments in the field of nuclear science and engineering and due to the ageing of the existing, experienced manpower; this has become even worse. This poses a serious concern to the nuclear industry vis‐à‐vis its survival and progress. Therefore it is essential that the organizations working in this area, to devise different mechanisms for the proper management and preservation of the knowledge and the intellectual capital contained therein. International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), being the apex body of the United Nations, responsible for the safe and secure progress of the nuclear field, has also taken different steps in order to guide these organizations in this regard. Pakistan Nuclear Regulatory Authority (PNRA) established in 2001, has also taken different measures to assess the maturity of the knowledge it contains and its significance for the success of the organization. This paper highlights the methodology employed by PNRA to assess the criticality and maturity of its knowledge domains.
