Beiying Rolling Mill, a subsidiary of Liaoning Province-based Chinese steelmaker Benxi Steel Group Corporation, has inked a contract with state-owned China National Nuclear Corporation (CNNC) for the supply of 30,000 mt of ductile iron pipes to be used in the Jiayuguan nuclear power station project. This is the largest order Beiying Rolling Mill has ever received.

Historically, in China CNNC was responsible for developing the atomic bomb, the hydrogen bomb and for building nuclear submarines, while it also built the first nuclear power plant on the Chinese mainland.
