Welding innovation required for high-pressure steam tubes and pipes used in growing global nuclear power industry

摘要

Welding Innovations are needed to support increasing global demand for power generation. Over 300 nuclear reactors have been proposed of which 136 will be in China, 24 in the USA and 23 in Russia1. India's massively delayed nuclear power programme will see a resurrection after Electricite de France (EDF), the world's biggest electricity company, agreed to build six nuclear plants in the country. The Indian Jaitapur project is expected to become the world's biggest nuclear contract and one of the world's largest nuclear sites. The 10.000MW project will have six reactors of 1.650MW each.
