Westinghouse/Bechtel Consortium Agreement: First Nuclear Power Plant in Poland

&gt; <i>Bechtel and Westinghouse bring more than 140 years of combined nuclear power experience</i><p>Wait... they could sum up the combined experience of <i>all their employees</i>, that would sound even more impressive! <i>Millennia</i> of experience, wow! I should become a PR copywriter...

So if all goes well, it will be built by 2033. Their nuclear plants are part of the plan since 2018, so that will be 15 years if all goes well until the first goes online and reduces the amount of coal they use (and they use a lot). If the goal is fast decarbonization, this is a bad investment.

Is there any public information about the financing?<p>The recent nuclear plants constructed in the west requires something like $5-15B above the market price in subsidies, of course depending on size. Would be interesting to know how they intend to solve that.

Calling nuclear fission &quot;clean&quot; is a bit like calling the National Health Service &quot;free&quot;.<p>I am not saying there are better options right now but still!

Curious what Poland&#x27;s anti-nuclear neighboring country will think about this?<p>AFAIK Austria was also suing Hungary and Slovenia for going nuclear.
