Rosatom is taking part in NIС’2008 exhibition in China

10th China International Nuclear Energy Exhibition «NUCLEAR INDUSTRY, CHINA’2ОО8» (NIС’2008) has set off in Beijing. The world’s best-known and biggest manufacturers and suppliers of nuclear equipment and technologies are taking part in the event. Rosatom is among them. Its exposition has been organized by Atomexpo OJSC and presents the whole nuclear power industry of Russia.

During Russian-Chinese seminar, to be held in the framework of the exhibition, the parties are going to discuss the prospects of their cooperation in the field of peaceful use of nuclear energy.

It has become a good tradition for Rosatom to attend exhibitions conducted in China as meetings with potential consumers are a good basis for fruitful cooperation and interesting projects.

NIC exhibition, China’s premier nuclear industry event for the past 20 years, is strongly supported by the world’s leading nuclear industry manufacturers/suppliers.

NIC’2008 continues to be the premier international commercial nuclear industry marketplace that creates optimum business and trade opportunities with major end-users/buyers, providing the platform to exchange knowledge on leading technology and best business practices, by offering a quality business forum.

The government endorsement to NIC’2008 will ensure this is Chinese top-level nuclear tradeshow. It’s the largest, most comprehensive event to cover the whole nuclear industry under one roof and one banner of NIC’2008. And, it’s the only event that addresses this broad market effectively.

Three main stimulation bring this prosperity. The central government takes the nuclear power as a source for national energy diversity and supply, especially for the coastal area. The provincial government develops the nuclear power actively for electricity supply while protecting environment. The county government takes the nuclear project as a huge financial source for its local development.

How many nuclear power plants totally in China in the future? The central government’s answer is that there will be 40G MW in operation in 2020. But according to the industry or expert estimation, the figure is surely more than this.

Now in China, technologies from USA, France, Russia and Canada are or will be playing their important roles, equipments from much more countries are indispensable parts of Chinese nuclear program.
