The Świętokrzyska Industrial Group Industria invited us to the inauguration of the Central Hydrogen Valley in Kielce. The concept of cooperation between nuclear reactors and the hydrogen industry is another very interesting and promising potential application of SMR reactors. Przemysław Żydak travelled to the ceremony.

Recall. The Łaszczyński Brothers Central Hydrogen Valley is an initiative which aims, among other things, to produce energy from wind and solar farms with a capacity of 2 gigawatts and hydrogen electrolysers with a capacity of 250 megawatts. The Valley will operate in the Lodz, Mazovia and Swietokrzyskie provinces.

We will follow the further development of the Valley.

Mock-up or not – it is impressive. “I have been in the industry for 15 years… I finally saw something physically done in terms of building a nuclear power plant in Poland. What can I say, I am happy,” wrote Przemysław Żydak. The mock-up is 14 metres long and stood in front of the National Stadium in Warsaw.

The #smr prototype was built to a design by Last Energy, an American developer of nuclear micro-power plants. The mock-up was manufactured by the Katowice-based company Energoinstal SA. The 20MW Rector is 14 metres long – you can fit it in a container. We hope not to see a full-fledged power plant module next time.

At the end of September, Anita Kuliś attended the REMEDy 2023 conference on site remediation and related water and ground investigations. Interesting thematic blocks, interesting speakers, fantastic organisation and atmosphere. Anita listened, presented, answered and discussed. We would like to thank the organisers for the invitation and organisation.

Anita Kuliś from Sotis Advisors gave a presentation: Environmental studies for large-scale nuclear power plants and SMRs in Poland ˗ similarities, differences and challenges. Among other things, she presented key challenges for large and small-scale nuclear power projects, discussed issues related to the delimitation of necessary environmental studies, and touched on the interdependence of siting and environmental studies.
