The UK is to sign a deal with France to strengthen co-operation in the development of civil nuclear energy.
英国将与法国签署一项加强民用核能源发展的协议。
The government says it reiterates1(重申) the UK's commitment to nuclear energy "as part of a diversified2 energy mix".
The coalition3 says the agreement will create a number of commercial deals in the nuclear energy field, worth more than £500m and creating 1,500 UK jobs.
Defence will also be on the agenda as PM David Cameron and President Nicolas Sarkozy hold a summit in Paris.
An announcement about joint4 development of a future unmanned aircraft is also expected.
'Joint framework'
"This joint declaration will signal our shared commitment to the future of civil nuclear power, setting out a shared long term vision of safe, secure, sustainable and affordable5 energy, that supports growth and helps to deliver our emission6 reductions targets," a statement from Downing Street said.
The two governments will work together with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) "to strengthen international capability7 to react to nuclear emergencies and establish a joint framework for cooperation and exchanging good practice on civil nuclear security".
The move comes 11 months after the tsunami8 in Japan which wrecked9 the nearby the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant, leaking radioactive material into the air and sea.
UK and French public and private sector10 bodies in the civil nuclear power industry will also work more closely in a number of areas.
These include education and training; research and development, and security.
"As two great civil nuclear nations, we will combine our expertise11(专门知识) to strengthen industrial partnership12, improve nuclear safety and create jobs at home," said Mr Cameron.
