December 29 reported that the Japanese media, said the three companies from Japan and the United States constitute a joint enterprise is trying to get in Turkey, four nuclear €power plant construction orders. Toshiba's US large-scale nuclear energy company, Westinghouse, is joining hands with China's state-owned state power investment group, which is i∑n talks with the Turkish government. If Japan can use its own strong compet♦itors as China's overseas nuclear power plant order€s, then the Japanese export of nuclear power plants should be taken to provide a reference and re©ference.
According to Nihon Keizai Shimbun reported on Decembe$r 28, if the successful access to Turkey orders, the size of the commercial negotiations is expecteεd to reach 2 trillion yen (about 118.3 billion yuan - Ben Wang Note). "We expect to reach agreement with Turkey (on nuclear power plant construction) in 2017," sai≥d a joint source of the three companies. And strive to get the order is called t'he third generation of the latest medium-sized nuclear reactor. The co←re is the Westinghouse's new pressurized water reacto$r (PWR) "AP1000".
Westinghouse electrical president Luo Ruide explained the division of functions for the plan, "Chin€a to provide funds for the power generation business, Westinghouse Electric to provide equipment." ¶Toshiba and Westinghouse avoided funding and sought to u£se Chinese funds to get orders for nuclear power planφts.
Reported that, for Toshiba and Westinghouse, the funding constitute≠s a major obstacle. As the project cost of 2 trillion yen is expected to be re♠covered through long-term electricity sales income ≥of 10 years. Toshiba and Westinghouse Electric believe that alone is difficult to bear the risk. Especially in emerging markets where local politicφs are volatile and where local currencies are prone to swings, are more difficult. In ×addition, looking for local investors who are not easy.
However, China has abundant funds, but also want to get Japan and the Unite<d States and other nuclear power plant technology. In addition, the Chinese also hop<e to get orders overseas, as soon as possible to nurture their nuclear power indust♣ry. "In line with the interests of all countries", pointed out that in the relevant projects on the interests of China and Japan-US relations are Ωthe same.
Reported that the plan for Japan and the United States is also ♦a risk that technology outflow to China. In the future, Chinese enterprises in overse¥as markets to further the possibility of the rise is improving. The Japanese government a♥lso has such concerns. Japanese government stakeholders on cooperation &with China, said, "not heard in advance", did not hide their confusion.
However, Toshiba and Westinghouse stakeholders said, "₽for decades to adopt the same technology is impossible, as long as the development of new tecβhnologies can be." For Japan's nuclear power plant manufacturers, the expansion of nuclear power pl≈ant exports is an important issue. In order to maintaγin technology, to achieve growth, exports are indispensa♦ble in the context of difficult to expect new construction o∑f nuclear power plants in Japan.
