Grant Description
In 2015, China's State Nuclear Power Technology Corporation (SNPTC) and Nuclear Energy Corporation of South Africa (NESCA) signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) for South African nuclear professionals to undergo training in China on nuclear power plant construction. This involves two years of basic training, professional training, and in-service training.
The first group of 50 trainees began a four-month course in China on April 22, 2015. The training will take place at the Shanghai Jiao Tong University and Tsinghua University in Beijing. The training will be in the form of lectures and visits to some of China's nuclear facilities. The amount of funding allocated by SNPTC for this project is unknown.
The class was completed on Aug 15, 2017.
Staff Comments
one MOFCOM article lists March 2014 as the date that an agreement was signed, and also lists China General Nuclear Power Group as one of the organizations signing on to help with training. It's possible that the agreement could have been modified or a new one signed later
