Britain and the United States are expected to sign an agreement this week to help companies from one country to build nuclear projects in the other. The British government is hopeful that reaching a deal with the United States will speed up what has, so far, been a halting effort to build nuclear plants in Britain. “Together with the U.S., we are building a golden age of nuclear,” Prime Minister Keir Starmer said in a statement on Monday. Mr. Starmer’s government favors construction of more nuclear plants despite their drawbacks. The industry’s advocates say that the benefits of having large domestic sources of power generation outweigh the negatives.
