Polskie Elektrownie Jądrowe receives PAA President’s opinion on the nuclear safety of the power plant site
Polskie Elektrownie Jądrowe (PEJ) has received an opinion from the President of the National Atomic Energy Agency (PAA) on the Preliminary Site Evaluation Report (WRL) for the Lubiatowo-Kopalino site. This report – the first of its kind in Poland – provides a preliminary assessment of the selected site in terms of nuclear safety and radiation protection and determines whether the site is suitable for a nuclear power facility.
“The opinion on the site selection issued by the President of the National Atomic Energy Agency marks another very important step in the process of building Poland’s first nuclear power plant. The opinion confirms that the site of the future power plant allows for the assurance of nuclear safety and radiation protection, and that there are no factors on the site that would prevent construction and operation of the NPP. The largest project in the history of the Polish energy sector will materialize soon. Nuclear will be one of the cornerstones of energy transition and the strength of our economy,” says Miłosz Motyka, Minister of Energy.

Another domestic company has joined the group of firms preparing to participate in the most demanding phase of the project to build Poland’s first nuclear power plant – the nuclear island. It is ZBUD – a manufacturer and supplier of specialized overhead lifting equipment for the industrial and energy sectors. Based in Dąbrowa Tarnowska, in the Małopolskie Voivodeship, the company has just begun the process led by PEJ and Westinghouse to prepare for the implementation of the requirements of ASME NQA-1, the American quality assurance standard, being a prerequisite for participating in the manufacturing of key nuclear components subject to the highest quality and safety standards.
“Nuclear new build is a transformative program as it requires the creation of an entirely new sector in Poland, new supply chains, and new areas of specialization, and at the heart of these efforts are Polish manufacturing companies and those providing related services. We are taking concrete steps to ensure the engagement of local content in this and future nuclear investment projects in Poland. By participating in the construction of power plants under the government’s program, Polish companies have a unique opportunity to acquire the necessary expertise in the coming years and develop the production of specialized equipment and services so that they can effectively compete in global supply chains with high added value,” Wojciech Wrochna, Secretary of State at the Ministry of Energy, and Government Plenipotentiary for Strategic Energy Infrastructure.
