RICHLAND -- The Richland office of EnergySolutions is working with Chinese engineers to design the waste treatment center for six to eight new nuclear power reactor units in China.
China Power Investment Corp. is building six AP1000 reactor units, with two more possible, at its Haiyang site in Shandong Province, China.
The contract to design, equip and commission the Site Radioactive Treatment Facility to treat and store liquid, wet solid and solid wastes has been awarded to a consortium of EnergySolutions EU Ltd. and Yuanda Environmental Engineering Co., a subsidiary of China Power Investment.
A team of engineers from Yuanda Environment Engineering has arrived in Richland to collaborate for six weeks with EnergySolutions engineers.
"This is another remarkable opportunity to play a vital role in new nuclear build in China as clean nuclear power gathers momentum, said Tom Yount of EnergySolutions Commercial Engineering and Technology Group.
