Vietnam’s Atomic Energy Institute and China’s Guangdong Nuclear Power
Group signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) to cooperate in nuclear
power in Hanoi on July 21.
Attending the signing ceremony were the Vietnamese Deputy Minister of Science and Technology Le Dinh Tien and China’s Deputy Minister of Energy Qian Zhiming.
The signing of the MoU is in line with a cooperative agreement between Vietnam and China on the application of atomic energy for peaceful purposes, which was signed in December 2000.
Under the MoU, the Guangdong Nuclear Power Group will support Vietnam by transferring the latest scientific and technological advances and also training technicians for the nuclear power industry.
At present, China has one of the fastest-growing nuclear power industries in the world. Over the past few years, dozens of nuclear power stations have been built and put into operation in China, meeting the country’s demand for power for socio-economic development.
In Vietnam, nuclear power is considered one of the best ways of addressing the demand for power. In 2009, the Vietnamese National Assembly decided to invest in the Ninh Thuan Nuclear Power Project, with a total output of 4,000 MW. It will include two nuclear reactors, the Ninh Thuan 1 and the Ninh Thuan 2, with two 1,000 MW turbines in each.
On May 4, 2010, the Vietnamese government decided to set up a State Steering Committee on the Ninh Thuan Nuclear Power Project to get the project up and running by 2014 and make the first turbine operational by 2020./.
