| Westinghouse and Shaw to supply new nuclear plants in China The Shaw Group Inc. announced that the People's Republic of China's State Nuclear Power Technology Company (SNPTC) has selected the Westinghouse/Shaw Consortium and Westinghouse's AP1000 passive Generation III technology as the basis for four new nuclear power plants to be constructed in China. The AP1000 Consortium will begin working closely with SNPTC to negotiate final contract details with implementation of the new build program expected to begin in early 2007. As part of the AP1000 Consortium, Shaw will provide engineering, procurement, commissioning, and management services for the four Chinese nuclear generation units. The projects are expected to spur significant economic opportunity in China, as well as in the United States with skilled engineering jobs being created in Shaw offices in Massachusetts, New Jersey, North Carolina and Louisiana as a result. write your comments about the article :: © 2006 Construction News :: home page |
