China will submit its homegrown Hualong One nuclear reactor design for U.K. review as it moves toward building a pair of reactors in southern England and seeks to expand exports to other nations.
State-owned China General Nuclear Power Corp. will send the design of the reactor to U.K. regulators for approval, which the company aims to complete in five years, it said in a statement Thursday after signing an atomic energy accord in London. The regulator must clear the reactor design before construction can begin.
