Toshiba Corp is set to receive a 200-billion-yen (1.65 billion dollars) order to supply equipment for six to eight nuclear reactors in China, dpa cited a report as saying Sunday. Through its US subsidiary Westinghouse Electirc Co, Toshiba is expected to deliver control systems, turbines and other main equipment for Chinese facilities slated to begin operation in the 2020s, the Nikkei business daily reported, without citing sources. The facilities include the Haiyang nuclear plant in Shandong province and the Sanmen nuclear plant in Zhejiang province, Nikkei said. Westinghouse previously built two mid-sized nuclear reactors each at Haiyang and Sanmen, and their track record seems to have worked in the company's favour amid heated competition from European, South Korean and Russian rivals, the report said. Toshiba is also in talks with Kazakhstan over delivery of nuclear reactors, the report said.
