The Global Management Challenge for Chinese Nuclear

Chinese nuclear companies have been actively seeking participation in global nuclear projects in recent years. This is understandable given the growth of the domestic Chinese nuclear industry and the desire for Beijing to invest its funds in global infrastructure as a means to diversify and increase its global footprint. 

As companies make the leap from building nuclear plants in China to building plants in the United Kingdom or elsewhere in Europe, a whole new set of challenges will be encountered. The entire regulatory, economic and environmental landscapes will be different. Consequently, the competencies Chinese nuclear companies have relied on for success domestically cannot simply be exported abroad. Rather, competencies will need to be globally applicable, while also catering to specific local market conditions.
