“These two contracts follow on from a similar order signed with CNPEC in 2008 and bear witness to the sound, longstanding relationship we have with our Chinese partner. Such contracts illustrate AREVA’s ability to effectively work with the local nuclear industry, be it for the manufacture of major components or the supply of nuclear services,” said Guillaume Dureau, executive vice president for AREVA’s Equipment business unit.
