Bilateral nuclear cooperation accords with Russia, the Republic of Korea and Jordan were also ratified on the same day. All of them were signed before the nuclear crisis occurred at the Fukushima No 1 nuclear power plant.


The accords, which will lay legal foundations for Japanese companies to supply nuclear equipment and technology to other countries, are due to be approved by the Japanese parliament before its session ends on December 9.

Japan has signed similar bilateral nuclear accords with the European Atomic Energy Community and the UK, France, Australia, Canada, China and Kazakhstan.
