US-based nuclear company Westinghouse Electric signed on Monday (20 September) a series of cooperation agreements with 22 Polish companies related to the potential construction of six AP1000 pressurised water reactor units in Poland.
Mirosław Kowalik, president of Westinghouse Poland, said Polish suppliers have “extensive experience” in the conventional energy sector and have the “appropriate competences” to meet the requirements which will make them part of the supply chain for Warsaw’s first commercial nuclear new-build programme.
Mr Kowalik said that some of the companies already have experience working on nuclear projects across Europe and Westinghouse would like to build on this. The agreements could also open opportunities for cooperation on nuclear projects in neighboring regions.
