Polskie Elektrownie Jadrowy (PEJ) has applied to Poland's Ministry of Climate for a decision-in-principle on the construction of the country's first large NPP, while metals company KGHM Polska Miedz has applied to the Ministry for a decision-in-principle on construction of a small modular reactor (SMR) power plant. The applications came after the adoption of an updated nuclear energy law allowing such applications to be submitted at the beginning of the process. This ensures state support for any project before any significant investment is made. A decision-in-principle formally confirms that investment in a plant is in line with public interest and the state policies, including energy policy.

Polish industrial group Industria has signed a memorandum of intent (MOI) with Rolls-Royce SMR to deploy small modular reactors (SMRs) in Poland. Government-owned Industria, as part of the Industrial Development Agency (IDA) Group, is leading efforts to develop a supply chain of parts and modules for SMR production. As a leader of Central Hydrogen Cluster, Industria aims to deploy up to three SMRs to produce 50,000 tonnes of low-carbon hydrogen every year. The Rolls-Royce SMR design is a 470 MWe small pressurised water reactor, which the company aims to launch in the UK by 2030.

Countries around the world turned to nuclear as a reliable low-carbon energy source as they looked for ways to wean themselves off Russian imports and lower carbon emissions.
New plants began operating, deals for small modular reactors were signed and countries announced ambitious plans for new-build.
On the political front, US president Joe Biden signed into law new legislation that will help to finance struggling nuclear reactors and could save dozens from being shut down early. In Europe, the nuclear industry celebrated when members of the European parliament decided to “follow the science” and support legislation which includes nuclear in the bloc’s sustainable finance taxonomy for green investment.
