France, Japan To Boost Nuclear Energy Cooperation 1 days 2 hours 43 minutes ago - DJNF PARIS -(Dow Jones)- France and Japan are to step up their cooperation in nuclear safety, it was announced Sunday after a meeting in Tokyo between Japanese Prime Minister Yoshihiko Noda and French Prime Minister Francois Fillon. Two French companies, nuclear technology specialist Areva (AREVA.FR) and Veolioa Environnement (VIE.FR), have been working to process contaminated water from the Fukishima nuclear generating station that suffered a meltdown in the aftermath of the tsunami that struck Japan in March. A statement issued by Fillon's office said the two countries are studying proposals to work on safety risk evaluation, decontamination techniques, and food chain and health monitoring. With regard to issues being discussed among the Group of 20 industrial and developing nations, the two officials found common ground on ways to reduce the volatility of raw material prices, the statement said, without elaborating. Fillon also brought up France's idea of an international tax on financial transactions that it is pushing within the G-20. France is currently chairing of the G-20, which groups together both the world's developed and emerging economies. There is broad agreement between France and Japan on proposals among the G-20 countries for countries with large public reserves to stimulate their domestic demand, while those that are heavily indebted must get their public deficits down, the statement said. -David Pearson, Dow Jones Newswires; +331 4017 1740, david.pearson@dowjones.com

Hi John, Some input from Americas Dairyland. Veolia is big in dairy farm cow manure.It is kept in slurry tanks ,off loaded into old tankers and buried in the ground as the top soil is plowed. Large dairy farms have been identified as the states largest polluters as the cow manure runs off the land into stream on hard rainy days. Instead it is stored in slurry pits (some of which capture the methane gas given off. A continuing trand as our dairy farmers are not mom and pop anymore.Some milk over 1000 head 24/7/365.FWIW Bob
