Their cooperation is also in pace with China's reform and opening-up in the past four decades, when the country turned from a follower to an active player in the global sector of nuclear power and clean energy.
COOPERATION
The Taishan Nuclear Power Plant is located in Chixi Town in the city of Taishan in the southern coastal province of Guangdong. Rice planting was once the pillar industry there.
Two huge gray color domes are the new landmarks -- with an uNPRecedented capacity of 1,750 megawatts each, unit 1 and unit 2 of Taishan are the largest and most powerful nuclear reactors in the world.
Liu Yu, a construction manager with TNPJVC, joined the project in 2009 with excitement. "My major in university was reactor engineering. So building these third-generation reactors means a lot to me."
"At the beginning, we just followed the pace of Olkiluoto-3 and Flamanville-3. It was comparatively easy, as they were carving out the way for us," Liu added.
Fabrice Fourcade, senior vice president of EDF and its chief representative in China, told media during a press conference in Beijing that EDF has contributed operating experience from the construction of its Flamanville-3 EPR, and the use of this experience was a crucial factor in successfully completing the initial phases of the Taishan project.
However, the situation changed quickly. In 2011, Taishan progress caught up with Olkiluoto-3 and Flamanville-3. In addition, Liu found that his partners from EDF and Framatome were expecting more advise from him than before.
