PEJ has signed a contract with the consortium of the National Centre for Nuclear Research (NCBJ), Nuclear and Industrial Engineering (N.IN.E.) and NucAdvisor to conduct an independent verification of safety analyses. It is an important step in the process of obtaining the construction license for the Lubiatowo-Kopalino nuclear power plant from the National Atomic Energy Agency (PAA).

Polish suppliers are joining the project to build Poland’s first nuclear power plant at the Lubiatowo-Kopalino site. The first purchase orders for the project led by Polskie Elektrownie Jądrowe (PEJ) were made by Westinghouse in October this year with previously downselected Polish suppliers, including two companies from Pomerania.

The U.S. International Development Finance Corporation (U.S. DFC), America’s development finance institution, is considering support for a project to build the first Polish nuclear power plant with the equivalent of more than PLN 4 billion. This interest was declared in a letter interest signed by the DFC on 12 November.
