Poland’s nuclear project company Polskie Elektrownie Jądrowe (PEJ) could be ready to announce two potential sites later this year for the construction of a second commercial nuclear power station.
Michal Wierzchowski, PEJ strategy director, told the European Nuclear Young Generation Forum 2023 in Krakow that an announcement could be made in the third or fourth quarter of 2023.
In November 2022, Warsaw said it had chosen US-based Westinghouse Electric to supply its AP1000 reactor technology for the country’s first three-unit nuclear power station at the Lubiatowo-Kopalino site near the Baltic coast in Pomerania.
The technology provider for a proposed second nuclear power station under the government’s 2020 nuclear programme has not yet been confirmed.
