Poland’s state-owned fuel company PKN Orlen will announce the 25 locations that will be home for around 79 BWRX-300 small modular (nuclear) reactors (SMRs) in April, Orlen CEO Daniel Obajtek has said.
Obajtek said Poland planned to erect all the SMRs until 2038.
“In April, we will announce the 25 sites for 79 SMRs,” Obajtek told reporters.
He added the project would run through the company’s Orlen Synthos Green Energy subsidiary, which would build the reactors.
The project dove-tails with Canada’s plans to construct the world’s first nuclear plant with a BWRX-300 reactor. The plant, to be operable until the end of 2028, will be located in Darlington, Ontario. (PAP/Business World Magazine)
