China General Nuclear Power Group is one step closer to exporting its Hualong One reactor design to Kenya, after having signed an agreement with the Kenyan government on nuclear expertise and talent training.

CGN, China's largest and the fifth-biggest nuclear operator in the world, had already signed a framework agreement regarding nuclear power training cooperation with Kenya Nuclear Electricity Board.

It has committed to providing Kenya with staff training, as well as comprehensive cooperation in power development and capacity building in the country, based on the third-generation Hualong One reactor.
