2033 as a goal of construction of the first Polish nuclear reactor is an aggressive schedule, but it is achievable. Some of this depends on the actions of third parties, such as the Polish government or a nuclear regulator. The availability of workers will also be critical- says Ahmet Tokpinar, vicepresident of Bechtel Energy in […]

The endless discussion about the atom that has lasted 30 years may end with a decision in September. Politicians mostly talk, but officials work. Nuclear power ready and waiting for the government’s decision – writes Wojciech Jakóbik, editor-in-chief at BiznesAlert.pl.

The goals of the IAEA mission to the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant, did not include any mention of any attempt at establishing who in the formal sense is responsible for this facility, let alone the physical transfer of supervision over it. I do not think that the IAEA itself has the ability to remove the […]

It has to be stressed that no nuclear power plant was designed in case of a war. Such a facility should never be a military target – says Łukasz Młynarkiewicz, head of the National Atomic Energy Agency (PAA) in an interview with BiznesAlert.pl about the Zaporozhye NPP in Ukraine occupied by Russia.

The 2033 deadline for the first reactor is possible but it implies quick moves. Every delay is making it harder to achieve that deadline. The sooner we get moving the sooner we generate low-cost energy helping the economy – argues the head of Westinghouse Energy Systems David Durham in an interview with BiznesAlert.pl during his […]

The draft agreement between Poland and the US on building an NPP has returned after comments, read: negotiations, to Americans and the final document will come back to Warsaw. Poles will choose one of three offers, and finally catch up with the historical backlog by developing nuclear power – writes Wojciech Jakóbik, editor-in-chief at BiznesAlert.pl.

The statement made by Germany’s Climate and Economy Minister that it was not profitable to maintain nuclear power as the gas savings would be negligible was unfortunate. The energy crisis is a window of opportunity for nuclear power, which should be used, among others, by Poland, perhaps to increase the number of reactors in its […]

As long as there is no nuclear power plant in Poland, the discussion about it is full of myths that should be debunked before construction starts, especially considering the conjecture that the contamination of the Odra river should raise concerns about the safety of waters near the atom – writes Wojciech Jakóbik, editor-in-chief at BiznesAlert.pl.

It is Russia that wants to frighten Europe with a nuclear disaster and the second Chernobyl, because in the long term, moving away from nuclear energy will increase the demand for fossil fuels and their prices, which, of course, is on Russian Federation’s mind – Energy Forum expert Maciej Zaniewicz comments on the seizure of […]

Germany’s energy ties with Russia are already backfiring. The shut down of Nord Stream 1, the main gas supply route, is forcing an increasing number of cities to consider saving energy, and is resulting in the push for reopening old coal-fired power plants, which are to fill in the gaps left by the missing gas.
