Wedoany.com Report-Nov 7 , The Japanese and Polish governments will on Thursday sign a memorandum of understanding on cooperation in nuclear energy, Poland’s industry ministry said.

In a statement on social media platform X, the ministry said the outline agreement would include exchanging information and technological support.

As Poland seeks to cut reliance on carbon-intensive coal, it chose Westinghouse Electric to build a first plant on the Baltic sea coast that is set to cost some $40 billion and is due to be fully operational by 2040.

Prime Minister Donald Tusk also last month said the country would seek financial partners to help fund the construction of a second nuclear power plant.
