Plans for Poland’s first nuclear power plant continue to progress
Building Poland’s nuclear program from the ground up is progressing with Poland’s first nuclear power plant project: three AP1000 reactors at the Choczewo site in the voivodeship of Pomerania.
The Polish state-owned utility Polskie Elektrownie Jądrowe has announced some recent developments over the past few months, including turbine island procurement and strengthened engagement with domestic financial institutions, in addition to new data from the country’s Energy Ministry showing record‑high public acceptance, which demonstrates growing nuclear momentum in the country.

Measurements were made of the viscosity of Columbia River basalt and basalt-urania melts containing up to 18 wt% UO2 in the temperature range 1360 to 1960°C. A concentric cylinder-type viscometer was used. The combined data were fit by the equation, where η is viscosity in poise, T is temperature in degrees Kelvin, and X is the weight percent UO2 in the melt.
