China has developed a substantial development of nuclear energy programme, and began distribution of contracts to foreign companies. 2030 years ago, Beijing plans to build 100 new nuclear power plants, it’s great allure for foreign contractors.
Taishan China has started building nuclear power stations, and announced the establishment of Sino-French joint venture. But China does not intend to in the nuclear energy field disruptions and Russia’s cooperation. Russia has also recently signed a memorandum, which identifies in tianwan nuclear power station on the second phase of expansion plans for continued cooperation. Problem is that, taking into account the Western company, Russia can successfully share a few pieces from this pie and share in the possession of the nuclear energy market in China. However, experts don’t see Sino-French cooperation on Russia poses a special threat of interest. Russia “financial management” investment company analyst Balanoff said: “no country does not want to rely on only one contractor, China this time is no exception. If they represent lifting with our agreements, and that is another matter.. “As to the contract by the construction of new power stations, all nuclear producer in the world are now in collaboration with each other. “So, did not rule out Russia to the Sino-French cooperation possibility of providing nuclear fuel in nuclear power plant construction. ”
but on Russia over plans to compete with Western companies in the Chinese market, Russia’s Kurchatov Institute Director Assistant Nikola? Kukharkin said:” in principle, Russia and France quality of reactor. But get this pie, it is hard to say. We are 2 units of tianwan nuclear power plant construction in China, although there is no serious discontent, but construction work also faced great difficulties. “Kukharkin believes that China is heading for a correct path: start trying all programmes, and then make a decision, select one of your own. “We may get a few pieces. Russia is building fast neutron reactors in China, but will gain much share it is hard to say. On our systems control technology behind, so in tianwan nuclear power station project have to Germany to buy certain equipment. ”
