* BCC has formed a Consortium which knows well the nuclear power generating industry, as well as all the players, and have advised no less than seven governments around the world. The Consortium includes the most renowned American company that specializes in providing the full range of services and consultancies for nuclear power generation projects.
The Consortium provides the following scope of services
