Japan and the United States are arranging to strengthen cooperation in the development of next-generation reactors and other areas of nuclear energy, according to sources.
Thanks to Japan's drastic shift away from a policy under which there were no plans to construct or rebuild nuclear reactors, Tokyo and Washington are set to once again share similar intentions for nuclear power plants.
Economy, Trade and Industry Minister Yasutoshi Nishimura, who is currently visiting the United States, is scheduled to meet with U.S. Secretary of Energy Jennifer Granholm on Monday in Washington to confirm the deepening of cooperative relations.
