CORPORATE: Areva Eager for Chinese Participation in 1,000 MW Design

摘要

Over the past twenty years, France’s Areva has tightened its relationship with China, and in particular with China Guangdong Nuclear Power Group (CGN), growing ever more dependent on the Chinese market for fuel and reactor sales. Now it is banking on an agreement with CGN to jointly develop a 1,000 megawatt reactor — possibly one based off its existing Atmea1 design — to help push into developing markets with a cheaper Chinese supply chain. And so far it has been spurned.
