Hitachi and Atomic Energy of Canada (AECL) have signed a Memorandum of Agreement to work together in the further development of the Next Generation (NG) Candu reactor.
The two companies, which are currently collaborating in the construction of two 700MWe Candu units in Qinshan, China, will each be responsible for specific areas in the development and marketing of the Candu NG. Hitachi will concentrate on details of the project’s turbine generator system, while AECL’s involvement will focus primarily on the nuclear steam plant.
