The South Korean and Japanese governments have signed a document
on closer cooperation in atomic energy, the Yonhap News Agency said
on Monday.
The document, called the Cooperation Plan, was signed by South
Korea's Ministry of Science and Technology and Japan's Ministry of
Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology, the Yonhap
said.
However, it didn't give details about when and where the
document was inked.
The plan urges to share information on how to operate nuclear
power safely and efficiently, and set up emergency reaction systems
that can effectively cope with emergencies.
South Korea has 20 commercial nuclear reactors, while Japan has
54. There are 439 reactors in operation worldwide, according to
local reports.
