Poland does not have a shortlist for potential nuclear reactor technology suppliers and remains ready to look at a various offers, despite agreements signed last year with Washington on plans for new-build.

Piotr Naimski, secretary of state for strategic energy infrastructure, told local RMF FM radio that the Polish government has not shortlisted US nuclear technology for its proposed six-unit nuclear new build programme, but is expecting US companies to present their offers until about mid-2022.

Mr Naimski said that under an agreement signed late last year, the US side has 18 months from 24 February 2021 to prepare and present an offer to the Polish government specifying the technology, procurement, construction and finance structure for Warsaw’s planned nuclear power deployment.
