The revised Polish Nuclear Power Programme (PPEJ) envisages the construction of several power units in Poland with a total capacity of 6 to 9 GWe, with the first nuclear power unit in Pomerania scheduled to be commissioned in 2036.

Łukasiewicz – Upper Silesian Institute of Technology, Welding Centre has been providing support for many years to companies preparing to launch the production of equipment or structures, as well as providing services for the construction of nuclear power plants both in Poland and abroad.

As part of these activities, we conduct various workshops and training courses, among other things.
