Doosan Enerbility has secured another contract to supply critical components for China's expansion of nuclear power, reinforcing its foothold in one of the world's fastest-growing reactor markets.
The company said Monday that it signed an agreement with Dongfang Electric International and Dongfang Heavy Machinery, subsidiaries of Dongfang Electric Group, to supply ultra-large forged components for steam generators at units 5 and 6 of the Laiyang Nuclear Power Plant in Shandong Province.
Under the agreement, Doosan Enerbility will deliver eight forged components by 2029.
The order includes four channel heads and four tube sheets, which are among the most critical materials used in nuclear steam generators.
