BUCHAREST, Romania -- Japan is set to partner with Poland to help build nuclear power facilities, possibly including next-generation reactors, as the European country looks to reduce its reliance on coal.

Japan's Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry and Poland's Ministry of Industry will sign a memorandum of understanding as early as Thursday. The agreement is expected to cover building up supply chains, sharing safety technology held by Japanese companies, training specialized talent and managing radioactive waste.
