2020s Industrial Small Modular Reactors Proposals Private chemical industry producer Synthos (owned by Michał Sołowow) plans deployment of a GE Hitachi BWRX-300 SMR in its plant in Oświęcim. In August 2021 Synthos has been joined by ZE PAK coal power station (owned by Zygmunt Solorz), with both planning construction of six 300 MW reactors. In 2022 KGHM, one of the largest Poland's consumers of electricity, declared that shifting from coal to nuclear power is the only way for European industries to grow and remain competitive. KGHM signed a contract for delivery of VOYGR SMR units with NuScale. KGHM and joint venture Orlen Synthos Green Energy submitted applications on July 8, 2022 to the PAA for formal General Opinions on their chosen reactor technologies. These applications mark the first licensing action for SMRs in Poland. Under Polish regulations, the President of the PAA must provide a response to the applications within six months, unless an exception is taken.
