What China Nuclear Engineering and Construction does

State-owned engineering and construction group building nuclear power plants and related civil/environmental infrastructure in China.

Earns by building nuclear plants and related facilities, with revenue booked as work progresses, so results follow the start and pace of nuclear projects approved by the state, chiefly for its parent China National Nuclear Corporation and other utilities. It has also built overseas, notably in Pakistan, and does civil and environmental work between nuclear projects.

In one line: China's Bechtel for nuclear plant construction.
