Chinese and Belgium companies have signed agreements to cooperate in the areas of MOX fuel fabrication and civil nuclear research. The first agreement, signed on October 6th, covers the construction of a pilot facility for MOX fuel fabrication in China. China National Nuclear Corporation hopes to build the plant with the support of Belgian companies Belgonucleaire, the Belgian Nuclear Research Centre and Tractebel Engineering .
The cooperation could lead to a commercial agreement including technology transfer and technical assistance by the Belgian partners, within a relatively short term, the companies said.
