Studsvik and Beijing DYNATECH Co., Ltd. (DYNATECH) executed a Framework Agreement today under which DYNATECH will supply Studsvik’s newest proprietary fluid bed steam reforming (FBSR) process for the treatment of radioactive waste to the Chinese nuclear power industry. 

Under the terms of the Framework Agreement, DYNATECH is granted the exclusive license to practice the FBSR process in China.  Studsvik will receive an initial royalty payment in 2017 of USD 2.5 million from DYNATECH for access to its FBSR technology.
