CNNC, PUBLISHED 24.06.2024

China Isotope & Radiation Corporation (CIRC), a subsidiary of China Baoyuan Investment Co., Ltd, a member company of China National Nuclear Corporation (CNNC), recently won the bid for the building of a gamma irradiation station project from Bangladesh Institute of Nuclear Agriculture (BINA).

It is an integral part of the CIRC's efforts to support China's Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) and act on the CNNC's international development strategies. With a designed capacity of over one million curies, the irradiation station is the first such a project commissioned by a foreign government institution to the CIRC and the first overseas EPC project won by the CIRC.

The irradiation project is mainly designed to disinfect and sterilize bacteria of foods, medical devices, pharmaceuticals and cosmetics, conduct quarantine inspections and extend the shelf life of relevant products. It is a mandatory requirement for the export of relevant products and boasts tremendous market potentials in the BRI countries and regions.

The building of the BINA's irradiation station project is another new achievement made by the CIRC, which has ever built four such infrastructural projects abroad.

The successful bid for the irradiation station project in Bangladesh is the result of coordinated efforts taken by the CIRC and other subsidiaries of the CNNC to further strengthen their collaboration and complement each other in their overseas development. It is expected to produce positive demonstration effects in the BRI countries of South Asia, help the CNNC enhance its international influence, and advance the cooperation in all industrial chains for better results.

OPINION

Han Yongjiang
To develop the new quality productive forces, it is necessary to carry out reforms to eliminate obstacles to development. In 2023, CNNC adjusted the ownership of some of its subsidiaries and formed a unified industrial platform, aiming to promote the development of the nuclear technology application industry.
