GE Hitachi Nuclear Energy (GEH), BWXT Canada , and Synthos Green Energy (SGE) have announced their intention to cooperate in deploying BWRX-300 SMRs in Poland.

SGE and its partners intend to deploy at least 10 BWRX-300 SMRs in Poland by the early 2030s.

John MacQuarrie, President of BWXT Canada, said: “BWXT Canada is pleased to be expanding our cooperation with GEH to deploy their innovative SMR technology to Poland. Our unique facilities and skilled workforce in Cambridge (Ontario) and at our other locations in Ontario are well suited to manufacture a variety of products for this advanced reactor.”

Michal Solowow, owner of SGE, said: “As Poland decommissions coal-fired sources, SMRs can play an essential role in deep decarbonisation and in meeting the energy needs of a growing economy. I look forward to Poland having a special position on the global map of SMR technology development.”
