Poland's first nuclear power plant is moving into procurement.
Polskie Elektrownie Jądrowe (PEJ) has commissioned Westinghouse Electric Company to begin the procurement process for long-lead components for Poland's first AP1000 reactor at Lubiatowo-Kopalino.
The scope covers six key nuclear island components, including the reactor containment vessel and structural modules.
The first unit is scheduled to begin operation in 2036, but supply chain preparations are already underway.
What does this mean for suppliers?
Westinghouse and PEJ expect Polish companies to participate in the procurement process, provided they meet the required nuclear quality standards, including ASME NQA-1.
This is an important opportunity for Poland's industrial sector.
Beyond supplying the country's first nuclear power plant, qualified Polish manufacturers could potentially become part of the wider international AP1000 supply chain.
And this is not just about major equipment manufacturers. Nuclear projects also require specialised materials, precision manufacturing, inspection, testing, logistics and engineering services.
For suppliers, early visibility, qualification and preparation are essential to participating in major nuclear projects.
PEJ has recently joined NucFinder as a Buyer.
At NucFinder, we're helping suppliers increase their visibility and connect with potential buyers across the global nuclear industry.
