U.K. Prime Minister David Cameron will set out measures intended to boost security in the nuclear industry and counter threats to atomic plants around the world at a summit on the issue in Washington on Friday.
The premier will announce a joint U.K.-U.S. exercise to test the ability of both countries to deal with a cyber-attack on the civil nuclear sector, Cameron’s office said ahead of his trip. That builds on a previous exercise aimed at fending off such threats to banking.
