UK and US unveil nuclear energy deal ahead of Trump visit
Source: BBC
...
The key focus of the so-called Atlantic Partnership for Advanced Nuclear Energy is to make it quicker for companies to build new nuclear power stations in both the UK and the US.
The hope is to halve the time it takes to gain regulatory approval for nuclear projects from up to four years to two.
In practice, it means that if a reactor has already passed safety checks in one country, that work can be used to support the work of the other.
