Japan and the US are working to include a nuclear power project in a second round of deals under Japan’s $550-billion investment package that will involve Westinghouse, sources told Reuters this month.
The momentum for building nuclear power facilities is growing globally as nations look to add more domestically located energy resources to hedge against supply shocks.
The US and Japan governments came to the understanding on their roles in the potential deal, including on the supply chain within Japan, Lipman said on the sidelines of the Indo-Pacific Energy Security Ministerial and Business Forum in Tokyo.
