An expert on the China-Russia nuclear project says the ongoing collaboration between the two countries presents huge possibilities, with the joint program facilitating the construction of advanced, high quality reactors.
In May, Chinese President Xi Jinping and his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin gave the green light to begin the construction on four nuclear reactors in China, launching a joint project in the peaceful usage of atomic energy.
As the largest nuclear cooperation project between the two countries, the program includes building some new units at two major Chinese power plants in the provinces of Jiangsu and Liaoning, respectively the Tianwan Nuclear Power Plant and Xudabu Nuclear Power Plant.
