U.S. and Japan agree to cooperate on building new nuclear reactors

The United States and Japan have announced an agreement to work together on developing and building next-generation nuclear reactors. The partnership involves the American company Westinghouse and Japanese firms, with initial plans focusing on a project in Japan.

Officials from both countries have defined their roles in the potential project, which Westinghouse says could be part of a much larger, long-term energy investment. The move is part of a broader push to expand nuclear power as an energy source.
