France, Germany and UK trigger snapback mechanism to reimpose UN sanctions on Iran
3 hours ago
Poland’s Orlen said on Thursday that the country’s first nuclear power plant is to be constructed in a joint venture with fellow Polish company Synthos.
The installation might also claim the title of Europe’s first small nuclear energy plant, though other countries could get there first in achieving that milestone.
The plant is to have at least two small modular reactors (SMRs), with a total capacity of 0.6 GW. The plan is to build it by 2035 in the city of Wloclawek, central Poland.
“We are building the energy of tomorrow,” said Ireneusz Fafara, CEO at Orlen, Poland’s state-run oil, gas and multi-energy group.
The plant is to use American BWRX-300 reactor technology, developed by US company GE Vernova.
Orlen bills the technology as the most advanced of its type in the world.
