Toshiba ESS and its affiliate Toshiba International (Europe) Ltd. (TIL) will carry out detailed discussions on the scope of collaboration with two local companies in Poland\u2014Rockfin Sp. z o.o. (Rockfin) and EthosEnergy Poland S.A. (EthosEnergy)\u2014toward the supply of steam turbines, generators, etc.<\/p>\n
Poland currently depends heavily on coal-fired power and is working to address the associated environmental issues caused by exhaust gases, including acid rain. In cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) and Japan\u2019s government and research institutes, it has taken steps to deal with those issues, such as building and operating an electron beam accelerator to clean up pollution, and, as a by-product of that process, enjoys the production of high-quality fertilizer for agriculture use.<\/p>\n
Since the 2000s, the Polish government has been preparing for the introduction of nuclear power to secure energy security for the country and reduce the environmental burden of coal-fired power generation. In November 2022, it adopted a resolution to build its first NPP. Given that major industries in Poland are heavily energy intensive, moves have intensified there to introduce small modular reactors (SMRs).<\/p>\n
Upon reaching the agreement, Toshiba ESS, emphasizing its extensive experience and vast technological strengths in the NPP field, stated, \u201cWe have been actively engaged in a broad range of nuclear-related business areas, including the construction and maintenance of NPPs, measures toward their restart [in Japan], the decommissioning of the Fukushima Daiichi, related measures, and the nuclear fuel cycle, as well as energy-related R&D toward the development of next-generation reactors and nuclear fusion.\u201d It went on to say, \u201cIn the future, we want to contribute to globally achieving both the stable supply of energy and the reduction of their environmental burden.\u201d<\/p>\n
In 2022, Toshiba ESS and its affiliate in the United States agreed to cooperate with the Bechtel Corporation, a U.S. engineering and construction firm, toward the delivery of equipment and components for Poland\u2019s first NPP.<\/p>\n
Separately, in the area of other applications of radiation, medical treatments started at the end of last month (May 2024) using the superconducting rotating gantry for heavy-ion therapy that Toshiba ESS had delivered to South Korea. That demonstration of the company\u2019s technological capabilities has garnered increased international attention.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
