On May 9, Yu paid a visit to the headquarters of Spanish Tecnatom Group, where he met with Patrick Fragman, chief executive officer of Westinghouse Electric Corporation. After the acquisition of Tecnatom by Westinghouse Electric, the CNNC and Westinghouse Electric have further expanded the scope and consolidated the foundation of their bilateral cooperation.

In the years ahead, the CNNC and Westinghouse Electric will firmly grasp market opportunities worldwide, strengthen and expand bilateral cooperation in the research and development of nuclear fuels, the operation and maintenance of nuclear power plants, and relevant personnel training, and strive for new contributions to the development of global nuclear energy.
