For the third-generation reactors C-EPR of Taishan 1&2, Velan has been selected by CNPEC / TNPJVC to supply electric-operated globe valves, bellows globe valves, check valves, and instrument valves. All these valves feature cobalt-free designs and modular maintenance features for simple in-line maintenance.

These orders, which will be shipped from 2011 through to 2014, strengthen Velan's position as an important partner of the Chinese nuclear engineering companies and further consolidate the long-term relationship Velan has enjoyed with CGNPC. Michel Monier, Director of Nuclear- China at Velan, said: "We are honored by the continuing confidence that our Chinese customers have demonstrated in us, and proud to contribute to the growth of nuclear power in China. As part of our commitment to our nuclear customers, we recently opened a Velan nuclear sales support office in Beijing, China, and formed a dedicated aftermarket team based in the Velan plant in Suzhou. This will enable us to provide quicker and more efficient support to our customers in China."
