Westinghouse eyes more cooperation in nuclear projects

Westinghouse Electric Co said it's looking forward to more cooperation in the nuclear sector with Chinese partners as power demand in the country is spurred by economic growth and concerns over environmental protection increase in the country.

We are confident AP1000, a key nuclear technology, will be more adopted in the country and we will have our local team to promote the technology in China, said Jose Emeterio Gutierrez, president and CEO of the nuclear energy technology provider.

Gutierrez was accompanying US President Donald Trump during his state visit to China this week.
