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.

CASL is the first U.S. Energy Innovation Hub connecting fundamental research and technology development through an integrated partnership of government, academia, and industry. CASL.s objective is to provide leading edge modeling and simulation (M&S) capability to improve the performance of currently operating light water reactors and its vision is safer and more productive commercial nuclear power production afforded through comprehensive science-based predictive M&S technology. Towards that end, CASL is developing the Virtual Environment for Reactor Applications (VERA). VERA software simulates nuclear reactor physical phenomena using coupled multi-physics models and includes a range of physical domains, from microscale to engineering scale. VERA's current physics capabilities include neutron transport, thermal-hydraulics, fuel performance, and coolant chemistry.
