Recently, South Korea and France officially launched the 27th Joint Coordinating Committee Meeting on Nuclear Energy in Saclay, southwestern France, to conduct in-depth discussions on deepening cutting-edge technological cooperation between the two countries in nuclear energy R&D, nuclear safety, and the nuclear industry. South Korea's Ministry of Science and ICT stated that, as the two countries mark the 140th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations, this mechanism, founded in 1982, has become an important platform for advancing the upgrade of the bilateral civilian nuclear energy strategic partnership. It is reported that this bilateral mechanism was established the year after the signing of the Agreement for Cooperation in the Peaceful Uses of Nuclear Energy in 1981, and for decades has continued to provide an efficient communication channel for the two governments and research institutions.

UK Interim Report on Fission Materials Roadmap Highlights New-Generation Nuclear R&D Priorities
The UK National Nuclear Laboratory (UKNNL) and the Henry Royce Institute recently released the "UK Fission Materials Roadmap Interim Report." The report states that the UK needs to clarify as soon as possible the priority technology routes and operating environments for next-generation nuclear reactors, so as to concentrate materials research resources on key directions and support future nuclear power development. The report argues that the UK should decide within the next one to two years whether to build a domestic materials test reactor; within the next five years, the government should also establish a national materials archive to preserve irreplaceable irradiated material samples. The report also recommends making long-term funding commitments of at least five years for relevant research projects...
