State-run nuclear plant operator Korea Hydro & Nuclear Power (KHNP) has begun investigating the site of coal plant in southern Poland for the construction of APR1400 nuclear power plants.
A KHNP team consisting of representatives of companies involved in the project has already visited the potential location at Patnow.
Poland recently reached a deal with South Korea to develop the European nation’s second nuclear power station, accelerating its efforts to become energy independent following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
KHNP signed a letter of intent with Polish utilities PGE and ZE Pak, South Korea’s energy ministry said in a statement. The consortium is planning build several APR1400 reactors near ZE Pak’s coal plants in Patnow.
