Canada-based Candu Energy has signed agreements to support the planned deployment of a fleet of GE Hitachi Nuclear Energy’s (GEH) BWRX-300 small modular reactors (SMRs) in Poland.
The company said in a statement it had signed a framework agreement with Orlen-Synthos Green Energy (OSGE), and a teaming agreement between OSGE, Candu parent company AtkinsRéalis, Canda-based infrastructure company Aecon and GEH.
The framework agreement with OSGE would see AtkinsRéalis Nuclear provide front end engineering and consulting services as technical advisor to build a roadmap to deploy the BWRX-300 SMRs at six different proposed sites in Poland.
In a separate statement OSGE said the companies will work together to improve and accelerate OSGE’s programme of BWRX-300 deployment.
