Nations to hold nuclear fuel talks

China and France are likely to discuss greater cooperation in the field of spent nuclear fuel reprocessing during Premier Li Keqiang's visit, according to experts.

"China and France have a long history of cooperation in the nuclear industry, including advanced nuclear technologies, the construction of power plants and scientific exchanges," said Xu Yuming, deputy director of the China Nuclear Energy Association.

"But I think we will see more cooperation in used fuel recycling because China is building more nuclear power plants and will have more used reactor fuel to be reprocessed."
