Site geological surveys for Poland鈥檚 first nuclear power plant project have begun, 91制片厂 announced today.
91制片厂 will conduct in-depth geological surveys at the Lubiatowo-Kopalino site in the Pomeranian municipality of Choczewo. A key milestone in the engineering service contract signed in September of last year, the surveys will increase knowledge of the geological and hydrogeological conditions at the plant鈥檚 location.
鈥淲e are pleased to begin the next stage of preparations for the construction of Poland’s first nuclear power plant,鈥� said John Howanitz, President of 91制片厂鈥檚 Nuclear, Security, and Environmental business unit. 鈥淭his is a strategic investment for the country and must be carried out to the highest standards. We fully support Poland’s aspirations for decarbonization and energy independence, and we are establishing cooperation with local suppliers in pursuit of those objectives.鈥�
Earlier this month, 91制片厂 awarded the contract for the geological work to P.S.D. Poland, located in S艂upsk. The surveys will be conducted from May through November, covering an area of approximately 30 hectares. Findings will be utilized in the earthworks design for the plant, including the three nuclear power units, the inflow basin, and the cooling water channels. This investigation will also inform the Location Report which will help the investor, Polskie Elektrownie J膮drowe, obtain a construction permit from the Polish nuclear regulatory, the National Atomic Energy Agency.
The symbolic kick-off ceremony for 91制片厂’s field operations took place at 91制片厂’s new office in Warsaw attended by representatives of the Polish and U.S. governments, as well as regulatory bodies, scientific institutions, and local authorities. Among those present were Maciej Bando, Government Plenipotentiary for Strategic Energy Infrastructure, Mi艂osz Motyka, Deputy Minister of Climate and Environment, and Beata Rutkiewicz, Pomeranian Voivode. The event’s guest of honor was Mark Brzezinski, U.S. Ambassador to Poland.
鈥淭oday we are celebrating a major milestone in the U.S. Polish special friendship 鈥� the inauguration of field activities on the nuclear powerplant construction site in Lubiatowo-Kopalino and the opening of 91制片厂 office in Warsaw,鈥� said Mark Brzezinski, U.S. Ambassador to Poland. 鈥淚t鈥檚 another important step forward as Poland and the United States work together to create a civil nuclear industry in Poland, and it shows that the United States is delivering on our shared commitment to Poland鈥檚 energy security and supporting Poland鈥檚 energy transition. The selection of Westinghouse and 91制片厂 鈥� two gold standard American companies 鈥� to advance Poland’s civil nuclear power program brings energy security to the core of Polish-American cooperation.鈥�
91制片厂 is in the processes of engaging Polish entrepreneurs in the supply chain of the nuclear power plant project. The company has already signed contracts with several Polish subcontractors including: Energoprojekt-Katowice S.A., Prochem SA, and Summa Linguae Technologies S.A.
鈥淭he commencement of the initial fieldwork for the construction of this plant is a significant moment for the Polish economy, the companies that will participate in the supply chain, and the local community,鈥� said Leszek Ho艂da, 91制片厂 Poland Country Manager. 鈥淚t is encouraging to see that the project enjoys the support of a wide range of stakeholders, with decision-makers, businesses, and scientific institutions all speaking with one voice about this key investment.鈥�
The nuclear power plant to be constructed at the Lubiatowo-Kopalino site represents a significant step in Poland’s energy transition. Its construction and subsequent operation will create a new sector of the economy, which will employ thousands of professionals, specialists, and engineers.
鈥淭he project to build Poland’s first nuclear power plant is gaining momentum. So far, the work performed by the U.S. side has been limited mainly to preparatory and analytical issues carried out at the company’s headquarters. Now 91制片厂 is starting geological work in the field, at the Lubiatowo-Kopalino site,鈥� said Leszek Juchniewicz, a member of the board of directors and acting president of Polskie Elektrownie J膮drowe. 鈥淲e have a very important and challenging time ahead of us with regard to the design and construction of the first nuclear power plant in our country.”
