CNNC sticks to highest security standard

China National Nuclear Corp has said that fuel loading delays at the first AP1000 reactor in the Sanmen nuclear power plant in Zhejiang province are due to security concerns and the nuclear power producer expects to complete the same later this year.

The Sanmen unit one is well prepared for fuel loading and the delay is because China wants to ensure that the nuclear plant meets the highest security standards, said Pan Jianming, a spokesman for the CNNC.

The CNNC is a major nuclear power player in terms of investment, operation, and development in the nuclear sector in China.
