The signing, held in Washington, on April 27, 2009 was one of many agreements concluded between US and Chinese firms organized by the China Chamber of Commerce for Import Export of Machinery and Electronic Products and US Chamber of Commerce.
“China has announced plans to build at least 30 new nuclear power plants by 2020. This cooperation agreement is a significant step toward expanding Shaw’s already strong relationship with SNPTC to facilitate the greater use of nuclear power throughout China,” said David Barry, president of Shaw’s Nuclear Division of the Power Group.
Currently, Shaw Group is under contract with SNPTC and other Chinese organizations for providing engineering, procurement, commissioning, information management and project management services for four AP1000 nuclear plants being constructed at Haiyang nuclear power plant project in China’s Shandong province and the Sanmen nuclear power plant project in Zhejiang province.
