Doosan and CTEC signed the cooperation agreement and the contract in Shenzhen in China's Guangdong province on 29 January.

The contract calls for CTEC to supply a logic controller to Doosan, which will be a part of replacement reactor control rod systems for nuclear power plants in Korea.

CTEC and Doosan started talks in early 2016 and signed a memorandum of understanding in November of that year. The details of their cooperation were finalised last December.

In a statement, CGN said: "The signing ceremony marks the beginning of the two parties' long-term cooperation. They will join hands to build the nuclear power plants into flagship projects and then offer global markets complete digital I&C control rod systems and solutions."

CTEC's I&C products have been used in several Chinese nuclear power plants, including those at Daya Bay, Qinshan, Hongyanhe, Ningde, Yangjiang, Fangchenggang and Shidao Bay.

Doosan is a major nuclear power equipment supplier and has participated in the construction of power plants in China, South Korea, the UAE and the USA.
