Ministry of Energy to build a nuclear plant within 10 years

The Ministry of Energy reported it is preparing to build the first nuclear plant in Poland, which is to have power of about 1000 MW. The construction time is planned to be 10 years, as is the investment cycle in nuclear energy. The Ministry also denied previous gossip, saying  that "the basis of our energetic security are modern, high performing and low emission carbon plants." Three new plants are under construction, with another three on their way. "Carbon deposits will be exhausted in 20 years.  Atomic power is still the most effective source of energy." prof. Andrzej Strupczewski reminded. The average total cost of building a nuclear plant amounts to between PLN 40 and PLN 60 billion.
