• Collaboration on Polish nuclear energy training centre The collaboration between the Łukasiewicz Research Network and Orlen Synthos Green Energy (OSGE) is expected to be broad and encompass research, development, and commercialisation of technologies related to small modular nuclear reactors (SMRs). • OSGE is implementing a programme to build BWRX-300 reactors designed by GE Vernova Hitachi Nuclear Energy (GVH). • The collaboration will include the construction and equipment of a training centre. • For this purpose, the Łukasiewicz Research Network will provide specialised scientific and technical staff to 22 institutes associated with the network. • These institutes possess laboratory and research infrastructure, as well as the expertise necessary for nuclear energy. • The nuclear energy training centre will support the development of personnel for the safe operation of the fleet of BWRX-300 SMR reactors planned by Orlen Synthos Green Energy (OSGE).
Article Summaries:
- Poland’s Łukasiewicz Research Network and Orlen Synthos Green Energy (OSGE) have signed an agreement to build a nuclear‑energy training centre in Warsaw’s Wawer district. The centre will support the development of personnel for OSGE’s planned fleet of 24 BWRX‑300 small modular reactors (SMRs) and will serve as a hub for training, certification and R&D across 22 affiliated institutes. The partnership will also include construction of an SMR simulator and commercialisation of related technologies, targeting both Polish and broader European markets. OSGE aims to complete its first BWRX‑300 unit by 2032, with the training facility intended to underpin the workforce and safety standards required for the programme.
