       TOKYO, Nov 6 (Reuters) - 
    The Japanese and Polish governments are set to sign a
memorandum of understanding on using technologies from Japanese
companies in the construction of a nuclear power plant in
Poland, the Nikkei business daily reported on Wednesday.
    The deal, which could come as early as Thursday, includes
using technologies from Japanese companies such as Hitachi
 6501.T  and IHI  7013.T  for building the first nuclear power
plant in Poland, Nikkei reported. 
    To cut reliance on coal, Poland chose Westinghouse Electric
to build its first plant on the Baltic sea coast that is set to
cost some $40 billion and is due to be fully operational by
2040.
        Last month Prime Minister Donald Tusk said Poland will
seek financial partners to help fund the construction of its 
    second nuclear power plant
    .
