As per the current nuclear development plans in China, CNPE will be responsible for equipment purchasing, and design and construction of some 40 reactor units in the next 20 years.
The cooperation agreement primarily focuses on software development, particularly the new web-based version of RiskSpectrum RiskWatcher risk monitoring software, and related consulting services, e.g. Level 1 & 2 PSA, PSA data, aging PSA, Human Reliability Analysis (HRA) and risk-informed PSA applications.
Cooperating with CNPE will open up new opportunities for Scandpower for expanding its presence in China and attracting new software users and consulting clients, the company said.
The cooperation will begin in the next few weeks with the first order for RiskSpectrum RiskWatcher. Discussions regarding a second order for another nuclear power plant are already well underway.
Ji Xing, vice president of CNPE, said: “CNPE’s participation in this important cooperation will be led by Bo Zhao, deputy director of the Overall Design Department. CNPE has very ambitious plans for developing nuclear power in China, and safety has always been the focus of all our activities. Scandpower is an internationally recognized leader in the area of nuclear safety, and as such is an ideal partner for our company.”
