Construction license application submitted for Poland’s first nuclear plant
Polskie Elektrownie Jądrowe, Poland’s state-owned utility, has formally submitted an application for a construction license to build a nuclear power plant at the Lubiatowo-Kopalino site in Pomerania. The country’s first nuclear power plant will consist of three Westinghouse AP1000 units with a total installed capacity of 3,750 MWe. The construction and engineering contractor for the project is a U.S.-based consortium of Westinghouse and Bechtel.

Possibility of a real-time tritium monitoring in high-energy accelerator facilities is examined using a polyimide hollow-filament type membrane module. Enrichment characteristics of hydrogen isotopes in nitrogen and water in dry-air were measured extensively, and a computer simulation using the simplified model for the gas separation was also performed. The experimental results showed that the polyimide membrane module could enrich significantly hydrogen isotopes and water vapor from nitrogen and dry air. It is concluded from these experimental results that using the membrane module could be useful for the real-time tritium monitoring.
