China's State Nuclear Power Technology Co., which was
inaugurated on Tuesday, is already cementing a deal with
Westinghouse Electric Co. to introduce third-generation nuclear
power technology to China, the company's president, Wang Binghua,
revealed Tuesday, adding that an agreement would be signed next
month.
The two companies originally brokered a framework contract on
March 1, which outlined that Westinghouse would four
third-generation pressurized water reactors in two Chinese cities:
Sanmen City in Zhejiang Province, and Haiyang City in Shandong Province.
This move fits in with the State Nuclear Power Technology Co' s
remit which is to develop China's third-generation nuclear power
technologies.
