Mitsubishi Electric Corporation announced that it will ship the first of 10 sets of digital instrumentation and control (I&C) systems for nuclear power plants in China, an order worth a total of 48 billion yen, as part of the first commercial collaboration between China and Japan in the field of nuclear power. The digital I&C systems, manufactured jointly by Mitsubishi Electric and its system engineering consortium partner, China Techenergy Corporation Ltd. (CTEC), control and monitor entire nuclear power plants to ensure safe operations and efficient power generation.
In July 2007, the consortium of Mitsubishi Electric and CTEC won an order for six digital I&C systems to be used in nuclear power plants in China, making Mitsubishi Electric the first Japanese firm to win such orders in China. Following their first order, they started on the system design and, in 2009, moved onto the assembling and testing stages at CTEC's Beijing factory. The first digital I&C system will be delivered to the Liaoning Hongyan Nuclear Power Plant Unit 1, which is scheduled to start operation in 2012. Built by China Guangdong Nuclear Power Holding Corporation Ltd. (CGNPC), The Liaoning Hongyan Nuclear Power Plant Unit 1 will have an output capacity of 1,000 megawatts (MW).
