Major Contract for Weir Power and Industrial
China Nuclear Power Engineering Company (CNPEC) has announced
that it has awarded contracts to Weir Power & Industrial France
to supply safety valves to four new nuclear power plants in China,
two of which are in Fuqing, located in the Fujian Province, and two
in Fangjiashan, located in the Zhejiang Province.
These contracts are for SEBIM pilot operated safety valves for
the protection of the primary reactor heat removal and
chemical/volumetric control circuits.
These major contracts are the result of a long and fruitful
partnership, dating back to 1990, between Weir Power and Industrial
France and CNPEC.
Weir equipment is a key factor in assuring the protection of the
nuclear power plant, and therefore needs to be of the very highest
standards in accuracy and reliability rates for the plant.
CNPEC has also invested in its future with long-term maintenance
installations, also provided by Weir Power and Industrial,
including the training of all of their technicians who use Weir
products.
In order to maintain our role as the preferred supplier, Weir
has developed and qualified our equipment for the new third
generation reactors. Our new products are smaller and more
compact but remain a key design in reinforcing the security of the
nuclear power plant.
