One year later, China State Power Investment Corporation (SPIC) once again adjusted its nuclear sector management model.
It recently held a mobilization meeting for the reform and restructuring of the nuclear technology innovation and engineering construction platform and announced program of the platform build. The establishment of the nuclear energy platform aims to focus on nuclear energy business, strengthen the core competitiveness, and enhance the level of management to be more specialized, standardized and intensive. At the same time, on this platform, SPIC integrated resources of design and development and engineering construction by establishing AE (Architect Engineering) company, which is to provide support for the application and mass construction of the subsequent AP / CAP series reactors.
As a nuclear power system integrator, AE plays a different role from the plant equipment manufacturers and owners. It is mainly engaged in providing system design, engineering construction and management services for nuclear power plants. Specifically, AE’s service scope includes the early stage of nuclear power construction (feasibility study, concept design, project report, bid evaluation, etc.), medium term (preliminary design, construction design, design management, equipment procurement and supervision, construction management, engineering supervision, etc.) and post-operation, technical support, technical transformation, etc.
SPIC states that the reform and restructuring will be conducive to the overall integration of nuclear energy R&D, design, project management and life-cycle services.
Tips: As Top 3 nuclear power development and construction operators in China, the current nuclear power business of SPIC covers: investment, development, construction and operation management of nuclear power projects; introduction, digestion, absorption, research and development, application and promotion of GenIII nuclear power technology; The development and application, promotion of advanced nuclear power technologies such as “Guohe No. 1”, and related equipment and materials manufacturing.
