CGN inks nuclear deal with Kenya

China General Nuclear Power Group inked a framework agreement with Kenya on Monday to develop nuclear projects in the African nation, giving the much-needed fillip for export of its homegrown third-generation nuclear reactors.

Kenya plans to build four operational nuclear units by 2030, according to sources.

CGN, a leading nuclear firm, said on Monday in a statement that it plans to develop domestically designed nuclear reactors based on Hualong One technology to Kenya.
