The agreement was signed on April 18, 2007. Japan also has agreements with Australia, Canada, China, France, and the United Kingdom and is discussing agreements with other nations.

Under the plan, the United States and Japan will each conduct research into fast reactor technology, fuel cycle technology, advanced computer simulation and modeling, small and medium reactors, safeguards and physical protection, and nuclear waste management. The work is to be coordinated by a joint steering committee.
