Plan działania dotyczący małych reaktorów modułowych w Polsce
Summary
The report outlines a three-phase roadmap for deploying small modular reactors (SMRs) in Poland to support decarbonization and energy security. It emphasizes the need for inter-ministerial coordination, the adoption of diverse financial instruments such as Contracts for Difference (CfD) and the Regulated Asset Base (RAB) model, and the transition from single demonstration projects to a commercial fleet. The document also highlights the strategic importance of securing supply chains, managing high-level radioactive waste, and leveraging EU funding and the IPCEI framework to position Poland as a regional SMR leader in Central and Eastern Europe.
Key insights
- The deployment of SMRs in Poland is proposed as a three-phase process: Phase I focuses on feasibility, licensing, and project preparation; Phase II involves the 'First of a Kind' (FOAK) technology demonstration; and Phase III targets the implementation of a commercial fleet to achieve economies of scale.
- To attract private capital and manage investment risks, the document recommends several financial tools, including Contracts for Difference (CfD) for revenue stability, the Regulated Asset Base (RAB) model for cost transparency, and long-term Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) for industrial zones.
- SMRs are identified as critical for decarbonizing energy-intensive industry, revitalizing regions around closing coal plants, and providing solutions for district heating systems.
- Poland has a strategic opportunity to become a regional hub for SMR integration and services in Central and Eastern Europe by securing early access to the European supply chain for critical components like nuclear-grade forgings and reactor vessels.
- The report stresses that a successful nuclear strategy must include a plan for a high-level radioactive waste (HLW) repository based on the voluntary consent of local communities and compliance with IAEA and EURATOM standards.
- Public support for nuclear energy in Poland is high, with November 2024 surveys showing 93% of Poles support the construction of nuclear reactors and nearly 80% accept plants near their homes.
