Under the contract, Valinox Nucléaire will develop 750km of tubes intended for the steam generators of the plant’s two units operated by Chinese National Nuclear Corporation (CNNC).
Vallourec power business line director Nicolas de Coignac said: "With this new order for the Chinese nuclear market which represents half of the worldwide nuclear market, we strengthen our global leadership in tubes for steam generators.
"By qualifying for the new Chinese standard, our subsidiary Valinox Nucléaire confirms its reputation for technical excellence in the critical tubes located in a plant’s primary loop, and enables us to reaffirm our determination to support our Chinese customers in their ambitious nuclear program."
Valinox Nucléaire also received qualification for the new Chinese reactor design, the ACP1000.
