Rolls-Royce, Japan Atomic Energy Agency to Cooperate on Advanced Nuclear Technologies in $24 Billion UK-Japan Package
Rolls-Royce, the United Kingdom National Nuclear Laboratory and the Japan Atomic Energy Agency agreed to cooperate on advanced nuclear technologies, adding a concrete nuclear component to the broader UK-Japan investment and technology package previously described as worth $24 billion, or about £18 billion.
The nuclear tie gives more detail to an earlier UK-Japan plan centered on clean energy and technology partnerships. By naming Rolls-Royce, the UK National Nuclear Laboratory and Japan's atomic energy agency, the latest announcement turns a broad investment framework into a specific area of collaboration.
