Polish chemicals company Synthos, which wants to deploy small modular reactors domestically, is waiting for Poland’s nuclear law to be finalised before it submits a preliminary call for opinion to the national regulator before starting the reactor licensing procedure, local media reported.

Under Polish legislation, before applying for a permit to construct a nuclear facility, a developer can ask the National Atomic Energy Agency (PAA) to issue a general opinion about organisational and technical solutions for the construction and operation of a facility.
