The United Kingdom and Canada have signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU), which will strengthen the relationship between the two countries on developing nuclear energy.

The MoU was signed by Gordon Campbell, Canada's High Commissioner, and the UK director of the Office of Nuclear Development, which is in the UK Development of Climate Change.

This agreement is aimed at developing cooperation on uranium supply, reactor design, construction, operation and decommissioning, research and development, workforce skills and advanced fuel cycle design.

Two Canadian reactor makers, Candu Energy and GE Hitachi Nuclear Energy Canada, are exploring solutions for the reuse of the UK's civil plutonium and recovered uranium stockpiles in its heavy water reactors.
