Nuclear power plant in Jiangsu to use Russian tech

Two 1,000-MW nuclear power reactors will be built under the second phase of the Tianwan nuclear power plant in Jiangsu Province, company officials have said.

Russian company Atomstroyexport (ASE) - which supplied the two reactors for Phase I that started full operation in August - and a Chinese project official who did not want to be named, confirmed the project.

Aleksander Selikhov, ASE's chief representative in Lianyungang, told China Daily that the company is set to sign the framework agreement later this year for the supply of No 3 and No 4 reactors, and expects the contract to be finalized next year.
