China has proved its competitiveness in nuclear equipment manufacturing by exporting a low-pressure heater to France on Tuesday.
The equipment was made by Dongfang Heavy Machinery under Dongfang Electricity Corporation (DEC) in southern China's Guangdong Province, and sold to French nuclear power giant Électricité de France (EDF), which is largely a state-owned company.
The 13.85-meter-long heater can be used to improve efficiency on 900 MW power units.Fabrice Fourcade, Vice President of EDF, said that it was the first time the group had ordered equipment for French nuclear power plants from Chinese enterprises.
Ming Xiangjun, Deputy General Manager of DEC Heavy Machinery, said that the company had gained knowledge on European standards and procedures through cooperation, which laid a solid foundation for future projects.EDF is one of the largest nuclear power operators in the world. In September 2016, the group teamed up with China General Nuclear Power Corporation on several nuclear power projects in Britain.
