Poland could cooperate with Ukraine on the operation of nuclear power plants and the building of an industrial supply chain for the nuclear sector, a spokesperson for Polish nuclear project company Polskie Elektrownie Jądrowe (PEJ) said.

Joanna Szostek, deputy director for communications, told NucNet that a conference held earlier this month in the Polish capital Warsaw was “the first step towards” possible cooperation and exchange of experience and lessons learned between Poland and Ukraine.

The conference was attended by representatives of the Polish and Ukrainian nuclear sectors, including state-owned companies PEJ and Energoatom, national regulators and government officials.
