Nuclear companies planning to power up exports

There's a saying in the nation's atomic industry that one reactor sold abroad equals 1 million cars, reports Lyu Chang.

China's goal of exporting nuclear reactors seems within reach, as domestic makers of these power stations are establishing a complete industry chain, company officials and engineers said.

Involvement by Chinese companies in foreign projects has been expanding but mostly in the form of project financing rather than contracts to design, build and operate nuclear plants.
