According to local service Choczewo24, preparatory work for the construction of the atomic power plant was intensively started in the municipality. The construction site is undergoing an expanding transformation, expanding the number of empty spots among the greens. So far trees have been removed from the area of about 40 hectares, and from October to February 2025 it is planned to cut another 150 hectares of forest east of the already emptied areas.
A tin barrier besides appeared in the area, which leads to the beach in Sławywo. This road will be accessible to residents and tourists. The investor undertook to place peculiar banners on the barrier informing about the tourist attractions of Choczevo municipality.
Is it safe?
The construction of the atomic power plant is planned for 2028, which means a hold of 2 years compared to the first assumptions of the 2020 Polish atomic Energy Programme (PPEJ). The Ministry of Climate announces the update of the Polish atomic programme and energy policy at the turn of the 1920s and 2025s.
The main controversy is the safety of the atomic power plant. Andrzej Ziółkowski, president of the method Supervision Office (the statutory unit to carry out inspections in the design, manufacture, modernization, repairs and decommissioning of the full atomic project), calms.
Security is the foundation in atomic energy, and this is an uncompromising approach. If in engineering we have a 100% warrant that this object is actually safe – then we say yes, it can be designed, manufactured and exploited. But the safety aspect present has a broader context. It's not only the safety – safety in the area of unexpected events, but besides security, which consists, for example, of cybersecurity – and present we enter safety strongly.
France breaks to aid
According to information provided by the Republic of Poland, possible technology suppliers have already started competing. The first are the French. Prime Minister Donald Tusk assured of the continuation of the proposal for a atomic power plant at his last gathering with president Emmanuel Macron.
EDF would be liable for the construction of the atomic power plant, and it made its proposal in 2021. According to reports, Macron declared that with the support of the French government, EDF is ready to implement a atomic power plant task at the designated location. It is besides open to negotiations with the Tusk Government on the 2021 bid. The French hope that they will convince Poles to the task through the issue of funding.
