Canada And China To Cooperate On Advanced Fuel Technologies PDF Print E-mail
Written by NucNet   
Monday, 14 January 2008
14 Jan (NucNet): Canada and China have signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) for the joint research and development of advanced fuel cycle technologies including thorium.

The MoU, signed by Atomic Energy of Canada Limited (AECL) and the Nuclear Power Institute of China (NPIC), was announced on 11 January 2008.

AECL said the agreement "establishes a framework for collaboration on joint engineering design, research, development and demonstration in furthering the development and application of low uranium consumption Candu technologies in China".

Research and development work will include cooperation in advanced fuel cycle technologies such as recycling recovered uranium from spent pressurised water reactor fuel and Generation IV nuclear energy systems.

NPIC is a research and design institute affiliated to the state-owned China National Nuclear Corporation.

This report was compiled for NucNet by John Shepherd.
