Slovakia to Sign Nuclear Deal with US
Slovakia is going to sign an important agreement with the United States about nuclear energy.
They want to build a big new nuclear power plant with the help of an American company called Westinghouse.
This new plant will be bigger than the ones they have now.
The agreement will be signed in Washington next week.
Slovakia already has five nuclear reactors in two different places, and they have been talking about this deal with the U.S. for a while.
The Prime Minister of Slovakia, Robert Fico, will be there to sign the agreement.
Slovakia will sign a nuclear power cooperation agreement with the U.S. next week.
The new plant will have a capacity of 1,200 MW, larger than existing units.
Slovakia currently has five nuclear reactors at two plants.
The agreement follows talks with Washington since last year to build a plant with U.S. group Westinghouse.
Prime Minister Robert Fico plans to attend the signing in Washington.
