Regaldo spoke highly of CGN for its active participation in WANO activities and contributions as an association member.

WANO is now working on its fifth regional center in Shanghai, which is expected to put the spotlight on nuclear development in Asia and help Asian members play a bigger role in the association.

CGN will continue to support the project, said He, who hopes the association will formulate appropriate construction plans for the WANO-Shanghai Center to the benefit of all parties.

In recent years, WANO has prompted the global nuclear power industry to improve its safety levels and carried out a number of reforms on its management and organization, producing remarkable results.

He also appreciated Regaldo and WANO's continued support for CGN, which has led to improvements in the operational safety and management level of the company's new units.

The two also discussed how WANO can forge a formal partnership with the China Nuclear Energy Association and conduct joint reviews on nuclear power plants.

OPINION

Victor Murogov
If we talk about the history of the nuclear science and technology, which determined the creation and the development of nuclear weapons and, then, nuclear power, we must return more than 100 years ago, in the early 20^th century.
