Russia and China have signed a framework contract for the construction of the second stage of the Tianwan nuclear power plant in China, Russia's nuclear power equipment and service export monopoly Atomstroyexport said on Wednesday.

The company said the contract signed by Atomstroyexport and its Chinese partner, the Jiangsu nuclear power corporation, stipulated the construction of two VVER-1000 reactors with a power output of 1000MW.

The first two VVER-1000 reactors at the Tianwan nuclear power plant were launched in 2007.

Atomstroyexport and the Jiangsu nuclear power corporation signed a general contract to build the plant, the largest project in Russian-Chinese economic cooperation, in 1997. The Russian company was charged with design work, equipment and material supplies, construction and assembly work, as well as training Chinese personnel.

Russia and China agreed that Moscow would receive 1.3 billion euros ($1.8 bln) to build the second stage of the Tianwan nuclear power plant. The figure is 2.2 billion euros ($3 bln) less then the initial figure.
