CGN arm seeks more uranium resources

The move is aimed at securing fuel supplies for nuclear plants

The uranium subsidiary of China General Nuclear Power Corp, the country's largest nuclear operator, is looking to buy more assets in the uranium-rich countries such as Kazakhstan, Canada and Australia, a top company official said.

"We will consider acquiring more uranium assets if the price is reasonable," Zhou Rongsheng, chief engineer at CGN Uranium Resources Co Ltd, told China Daily on the sidelines of an industry conference in Beijing.
