The recent agreement between India and USA regarding co-operation in the field of civilian nuclear power opened up new opportunities for both countries. GEH's ABWR technology is the world's only commercially proven Generation III advanced reactor design, with four units in operation and another four under construction. L&T has been playing a leading role in equipment manufacture, construction and project management for Pressurized Heavy Water Reactors in India's domestic program. This MoU with GEH is a major step forward for L&T in the manufacture and construction of Advanced Boiling Water Reactor (ABWR) components & systems. L&T and GEH hope to utilize indigenous capabilities for the complete construction of nuclear power plants including supply of reactor equipment and systems, valves, electrical & instrumentation products for ABWR plants to be set up in India. write your comments about the article :: © 2009 Construction News :: home page |
