Poland plans to construct three Westinghouse AP1000 reactors at the Lubiatowo-Kopalino site in the municipality of Choczewo, Pomeranian Voivodeship, in the northern part of the country. In March 2026, the Polish state-owned nuclear power company Polskie Elektrownie J\u0105drowe (PEJ) submitted an application for a construction permit to the country’s nuclear regulatory authority, the National Atomic Energy Agency (PAA).<\/p>\n
The latest contract covers the reactor containment vessel and large steel modules for one of the three planned units.<\/p>\n
IHI has previously supplied containment vessels for AP1000 reactors at Vogtle Units 3 and 4 (PWRs, 1,250 MWe each) in the United States.<\/p>\n
IHI has identified its nuclear power business as a growth area and has outlined plans to strengthen its production capacity and workforce while investing in next-generation reactor technologies, with an eye towards expanding into overseas markets.<\/p>\n
