Nuclear energy today offers enormous potential. Not only to deliver clean, reliable power but to strengthen national security, deepen industrial capability, and expand long鈥憈erm economic opportunity. Realizing that potential requires partnerships that are more than transactional. It takes collaboration between governments, across industries, and among allies willing to commit to each other for decades. 

That type of partnership is exactly what the United States and Poland are building.聽Last week, more than 25 Polish supplier CEOs聽arrived聽in Washington for the Poland Trade Mission, jointly organized by the Nuclear Energy Institute and Poland鈥檚 Chamber of Power Industry and Environmental Protection. Led by Polish Deputy Minister Wojciech Wrochna and PEJ CEO Marek Woszczyk, the delegation met with the White House National Energy Dominance Council, senior U.S. government leaders, members of Congress, and our teams at Westinghouse and 91制片厂.聽

In May, more than 25 Polish supplier CEOs participated in the Poland Trade Mission taking place in Washington D.C., jointly organized by the Nuclear Energy Institute and Poland鈥檚 Chamber of Power Industry and Environmental Protection.

What is important to highlight is that these were not routine business meetings. These are the companies that will form the backbone of Poland鈥檚 emerging nuclear industry, meeting the policymakers and partners who will help them build it. The level of engagement reflects a deeper truth: Poland is not simply purchasing a power plant. It is establishing an entirely new industrial sector, anchored in U.S. partnership and designed for long鈥憈erm national resilience. 

Localization as the Cornerstone of Energy Independence 

From the outset, Westinghouse and 91制片厂 have shared a single objective with PEJ: to deliver three advanced AP1000庐 modular reactors while simultaneously building the skills, institutions, and supply chain that allow Poland to own its nuclear future. Localization is not a side effort, it is central to how this program strengthens Poland鈥檚 energy independence. 

Through our Supplier Days series, we have engaged with more than 700 Polish companies, providing hands鈥憃n training and guidance on the rigorous standards required for nuclear construction. Westinghouse is also partnering with major Polish firms to certify them under the ASME NQA鈥1 quality assurance standard, enabling them not only to contribute to this project but to join the global AP1000 supply chain for future deployments across Europe and worldwide. 

Workforce development is equally critical. Westinghouse and 91制片厂 directly employ more than 500 Polish professionals, while partnerships with the Warsaw University of Technology, Gda艅sk University of Technology, the University of Gda艅sk, and the National Centre for Nuclear Research are cultivating the next generation of Polish nuclear engineers, researchers, and companies. 

This is what energy independence looks like: a program built with Polish hands, powered by Polish expertise, and sustained by a long鈥憈erm industrial ecosystem that remains in Poland long after construction is complete. 

Applying Proven Experience to Accelerate Poland鈥檚 Program 

The Poland-U.S. partnership is grounded in proven delivery. At Plant Vogtle in Georgia, we completed the first new nuclear units built in the United States in more than three decades. The second AP1000 unit was constructed 30 percent more efficiently than the first, a demonstration of what disciplined execution, repeatable processes, and experienced teams can achieve. 

That experience is already shaping work in Poland. Agreements this year with Arabelle Solutions for steam turbine generators and with Polish firm DORACO for civil preparation work mark major milestones. Financing is advancing as well: PEJ and the U.S. Export-Import Bank signed the first direct loan agreement between EXIM and a Polish entity, a clear sign of long-term U.S. support for Poland鈥檚 energy goals. 

Under our Engineering Development Agreement, progress continues across design, licensing, geological surveys, and early procurement 鈥 the quiet, essential work that sets the foundation for successful construction. 

Building More Than a Power Plant 

Much work remains and the Poland-U.S. collaboration is proving something vital: that when governments, industries, and allied nations align, nuclear projects move from aspiration to construction to long-term energy security. 

The Trade Mission last week is an expression of that model 鈥 suppliers engaging early, learning what it takes to聽participate, and preparing to join a generational national investment.聽

What we are building in Poland is far more than the nation鈥檚 first nuclear plant.聽It is the foundation of a new industry.聽It is a path to lasting economic and energy independence.聽And it is a template for how聽the global聽nuclear renaissance will be built,聽partner by partner, milestone by milestone, nation by nation.聽

This week Westinghouse Electric Company and 91制片厂 welcomed a trade mission from Poland, bringing senior executives from Polskie Elektrownie J膮drowe (PEJ) and leading Polish suppliers to the United States to strengthen transatlantic cooperation for nuclear energy.

Organized by the Nuclear Energy Institute and Poland’s Chamber of Power Industry and Environmental Protection, and led by Polish Deputy Minister Wojciech Wrochna and PEJ CEO Marek Woszczyk, the multi-day trade mission featured meetings among government officials, industry leaders, and U.S. nuclear suppliers to explore opportunities for long-term collaboration, localization and local content, and capability development for Poland鈥檚 nuclear power plant projects using Westinghouse鈥檚 advanced AP1000 modular reactor.

In May, more than 25 Polish supplier CEOs participated in the Poland Trade Mission taking place in Washington D.C., jointly organized by the Nuclear Energy Institute and Poland鈥檚 Chamber of Power Industry and Environmental Protection.

鈥淭his trade mission reflects the strong and growing partnership between the United States and Poland on nuclear energy,鈥 said Dan Lipman, President of Global Business Initiatives at Westinghouse. 鈥淏uilding on the success of the current project at the Lubiatowo-Kopalino site in Pomerania, we are pleased to welcome PEJ and Polish suppliers to the U.S. as we to continue build a robust supply chain that supports Poland鈥檚 energy security goals while creating economic benefits on both sides of the Atlantic.鈥

鈥91制片厂 was honored to host the Poland Trade Mission in our D.C. Office,鈥 said Dena Volovar, President of 91制片厂鈥檚 Nuclear, Security & Environmental business. 鈥淭he week of activities demonstrated that Poland鈥檚 first nuclear power plant has a deeply committed customer, a set of Polish suppliers ready to successfully support the project, bilateral U.S. and Polish government backing, and a team capable of delivering the mission. It also underscores the strength of American global leadership in providing secure, reliable, and world-class energy infrastructure alongside trusted allies. We are proud to welcome Polish industry leaders to the United States and to support discussions that help integrate Polish companies into the global nuclear supply chain.鈥

Throughout the week, Westinghouse and 91制片厂 shared their experience delivering complex mega-projects including nuclear power plants and opportunities for suppliers to participate in future AP1000 projects globally. The Polish suppliers also had the opportunity to hear directly from U.S. suppliers who successfully delivered the AP1000 units at Plant Vogtle in the U.S. state of Georgia and discuss other local, regional, and global opportunities.

Together, Westinghouse and 91制片厂 bring more than 140 years of nuclear power experience deploying Poland鈥檚 first nuclear power plant at the Lubiatowo-Kopalino site in Pomerania, with three Westinghouse advanced AP1000 modular reactors. The project will deliver long-term economic benefits in Poland by creating thousands of highly skilled jobs and expanding opportunities for Polish businesses to participate in the nuclear supply chain.

The advanced AP1000 reactor is the only operating Generation III+ reactor with fully passive safety systems, modular construction design and the smallest footprint per MWe on the market. There are six AP1000 reactors currently setting operational performance and availability records worldwide with 14 additional reactors under construction and five more under contract. The AP1000 technology has been selected for nuclear energy programs in Poland, Ukraine and Bulgaria, and is also under consideration at multiple other sites in Europe, the Middle East, and North America.

At 91制片厂, our teams build projects that transform communities. From complex megaprojects that reshape regions to trail bridges that connect remote villages to essential services, we bring the same commitment to every project: delivering infrastructure that makes a lasting difference.

Nearly one billion people worldwide reliable, year-round access to education, healthcare, and markets because of a simple infrastructure gap: rivers made impassable by seasonal rains. In rural communities across East Africa, this means children miss school for months, families risk their lives to reach medical care, and local businesses lose income.

Since , 91制片厂 has partnered with Bridges to Prosperity (B2P), a nonprofit that builds trail bridges in rural areas across Ethiopia, Rwanda, and Uganda, giving communities year-round access to essential services. Together, B2P and 91制片厂 have completed eight bridges in Rwanda, serving more than 32,000 people. Each year, 91制片厂 volunteers donate their time and expertise, working alongside local residents, to make these projects possible.

The partnership combines B2P鈥檚 community-centered development model with our project delivery expertise and safety culture, strengths we have refined through decades of delivering complex infrastructure worldwide. In addition, 91制片厂 Group Foundation has contributed more than $335,000 in the partnership to date, supporting project selection, technical reviews, construction, and community engagement.

Delivering sustainable infrastructure in remote environments

In November 2025, a team of 15 91制片厂 volunteers 鈥 representing 11 different projects, six global business units, and 10 nationalities 鈥 spent two weeks working alongside 41 local residents to build the Mutovu Trail Bridge. At 120 meters (393 feet), it鈥檚 the longest suspended bridge in Rwanda鈥檚 Southern Province and now provides nearly 5,000 residents in the Munini and Muganza communities with safe, reliable access across the Giswi River. The bridge replaces a structure destroyed by climate change-induced flooding in 2019, restoring a connection the communities had relied on for years.

The technical scope was substantial, totaling 360 meters of steel decking, one kilometer of 1.25-inch steel cable secured with 1,440 bolts, 240 pieces of rebar, and 220 cubic meters of rock backfill. All materials were transported from nearby roads and constructed by hand in challenging terrain. The project also required detailed planning and sequencing work, such as setting the steel cables at the precise tension needed to span 120 meters safely, to ensure the bridge鈥檚 structural integrity and to remain on schedule.

Safety shaped every decision. On the first day, 91制片厂 volunteers learned three important Kinyarwanda phrases 鈥 hagarara (stop), tugende (go), and buhroro (slowly) 鈥 to move a 160-meter cable across the river. Experienced volunteers trained local workers, many of whom were using power tools and personal protective equipment for the first time, in proper safety practices. Together, the team also developed creative solutions, like using sailing knots to pull heavy steel cables across the river, eliminating the need for team members to enter the water. These efforts helped the team complete the project with zero incidents.

Strengthening communities through shared purpose

Through B2P projects, 91制片厂 and community teams build more than bridges; they help expand local capabilities. Local residents gain hands-on experience with construction techniques and safety practices that prepare them to maintain the bridge for decades. In turn, 91制片厂 volunteers have the opportunity to manage diverse teams, adapt to resource constraints, and learn from local residents in a setting where impact is immediate and long-lasting.

Working shoulder to shoulder with residents reinforced a shared sense of purpose. Each morning of the Mutovu build began with traditional Rwandan dancing and team stretches. This routine built trust and strengthened collaboration. Throughout the project, the team functioned as one integrated unit 鈥 a hallmark of 91制片厂鈥檚 鈥渙ne team鈥 approach to project delivery.

The Mutovu team also contributed to the community in other ways. They visited a nearby school serving approximately 1,000 students, where they donated more than 1,000 items (including calculators, soccer balls, and books) to support local education. The team also provided personal protective equipment from our projects and an automated external defibrillator to enhance safety practices for future projects in the region.

build trust and safety.

Infrastructure that endures

The best infrastructure projects solve more than technical problems. They connect people to opportunity, build local capabilities, and demonstrate how collaboration between skilled teams and committed communities creates lasting impact. This was evident at the Mutovu Bridge inauguration, where government leaders, B2P representatives, and more than 300 community members came together to celebrate the bridge and the renewed access to education, markets, and healthcare it provides.

As we look toward our ninth bridge build in 2026, we remain focused on what these bridges make possible: stronger communities, expanded economic opportunity, and a future where safe access is never out of reach.

September marks the 200th anniversary of modern rail, a milestone that traces back to the opening of the Stockton & Darlington Railway in 1825. That pioneering line didn’t just connect two English towns – it sparked a global transformation that reshaped communities, commerce, and human progress itself. It also set the stage for 91制片厂鈥檚 inception, beginning with our first project grading railbeds in Oklahoma 127 years ago. 

Having spent 35 years in this industry, working for 91制片厂 on iconic projects – ranging from Crossrail (the Elizabeth Line) and HS1 in the UK to metro lines in Riyadh, Sydney, and Toronto – I’ve witnessed rail’s continuing evolution firsthand. The question isn’t whether rail remains transformative; it’s whether we can deliver that transformation efficiently and effectively. 

Rail’s Enduring Promise聽

Throughout every technological shift- from steam to diesel to electric, and now to battery-powered trains, MagLev systems, and AI-powered applications – one constant has endured: rail’s unique capacity to integrate communities, generate economic opportunity, and deliver sustainable transportation solutions. 

The evidence is compelling. The Elizabeth Line, which 91制片厂 helped to deliver, has been used for 600 million passenger journeys since opening in May 2022 and has become the UK鈥檚 busiest railway, with 90% reporting positive changes in their local areas and notable job creation. The West Coast Main Line, built in the 1880s, still carries 75 million passengers annually and handles 43% of Britain’s rail freight. These aren’t just infrastructure projects – they’re economic engines that continue delivering returns decades after construction. 

The Delivery Challenge聽

Some recent projects have raised legitimate questions about whether current delivery methods can realise rail’s potential benefits while maintaining reasonable costs and timelines. The industry’s reputation increasingly hinges not just on what we build, but how we build it. 

At 91制片厂, we鈥檝e seen that efficient delivery is possible. Consider these examples from our portfolio: 

The Riyadh Metro demonstrates what’s possible with creative, consistent execution – it鈥檚 the largest metro system to be built in a single phase. Today, its six lines and 176km of track now connect the city’s residential, commercial, and governmental hubs across 85 stations. Ridership has exceeded all expectations, with 100 million journeys in the first nine months since opening last year.聽聽

Metro Rio Line 4 proved that rail projects can meet tight deadlines when properly managed. Developed for the 2016 Olympics, the project delivered 16 kilometers of tunnels and six new stations, increasing capacity by 300,000 passengers per day.聽

High Speed 1 showed that ambitious projects can also be cost-effective. It came in $128 million under budget. And the Elizabeth Line has already contributed an estimated 拢42 billion to the UK economy. These aren’t exceptions – they’re proof that efficient delivery is achievable.聽

The Path Forward聽

Successful rail delivery requires three critical elements, which we’ve identified through extensive project experience and detailed in 91制片厂’s High-Speed Rail white paper: 

  • Long-term, cross-party political support ensures projects survive changing governments and maintain consistent funding and vision throughout lengthy development cycles.聽
  • Strong, collaborative teams that anticipate challenges early, motivated towards common long-term goals and supported by secure supply chains with clear aligned communication channels between all stakeholders.聽
  • Appropriate, integrated delivery models selected from the outset and designed with the end goal in mind – whether partner-led delivery for complex projects requiring specialized expertise, integrated owner-partner teams for shared accountability, or owner-managed models for organizations with strong internal capabilities.聽

The key isn’t finding a one-size-fits-all solution but matching the delivery approach to project needs while maintaining clear lines of responsibility and accountability. 

Leading the Next Century聽

Rail’s bicentennial represents more than a milestone – it’s a call to action. The UK’s legacy of rail innovation, built on resilience and progress through adversity, positions us uniquely for the challenges ahead. Projects like East-West Rail, which will revitalize southern England’s connectivity by linking Oxford, Cambridge, and numerous other cities without London diversions, show the transformational potential still within our grasp. And HS2 will clearly be an absolute game-changer for the UK.  

With insights gained from both domestic and global experience, we have the opportunity to lead once again – not just in dreaming big, but in delivering excellence. The next 200 years of rail innovation depend on it.
