Energy Policy in Poland till 2030 adopted 10 November 2009

Priorities• Raise of energy effectiveness• Safe energy supply• Implementation of nuclear power as the element of

energy diversification• Development of renewable sources of energy including

bio fuels• Creation of competitive market of energy• Limitation of environmental influence of power

production


Sustainable development• Improvement of energy supply security taking

into account energy supply for future generations

• Climate preservation• Limitation of environmental influence of

power production• Development of electrical, gas and oil

transportation infrastructure


GOVERNMENT RESOLUTION ON THE MEASURES UNDERTAKEN IN THE AREA OF

NUCLEAR POWER DEVELOPMENT • On January 13 2009, the following resolution

has been adopted by the Government of the Republic of Poland :

• To ensure the national energy security, and taking into account the economic development, a Polish nuclear power program shall be developed and implemented.


GOVERNMENT RESOLUTION ON THE MEASURES UNDERTAKEN IN THE AREA OF NUCLEAR POWER DEVELOPMENT –cont.

• The draft of such program shall be developed and submitted to the Council of Ministers by the government commissioner; this program shall determine the nuclear power plants' number, size and possible sites.

• Moreover, the government obligates the National Treasury Minister to ensure that PGE Polish Energy Group SA shall cooperate on the program's development and implementation.


Government Information Center added the following comment:

• In connection with the government resolution of January 13, 2009 on starting the work on Polish Nuclear Power Program, at least two nuclear power plants will be built. The work will be conducted simultaneously, and the operation of at least one of these nuclear power plants should be started by 2020.

• Nuclear power plant construction in Poland does not preclude Polish involvement in similar investments abroad.


Comment by the Government Information Center – cont.

• Government's Plenipotentiary for Polish Nuclear Power Program shall be charged with the coordination and supervision of the measures for the preparation of the regulatory and institutional environment, necessary for the nuclear power plant commissioning in Poland.

• Responsibility for the plant's construction rests with PGE Polish Energy Group SA.


Government Commissioner responsibilities

• 12 May 2009 Governmental decree concerning responsibilities of the Plenipotentiary of Polish Government for the development of Nuclear Power

• Role of the pleniptentiary –infastructure building and coordination of the programme of nuclear power implementation in Poland

• Support from the Polish Energy Group


19 May 2009 – Appointment of Mrs. Hanna Trojanowska to the

post of Plenipotantiary of Polish Government for the Development

of Polish Nuclear Power and Undersecretary of State in

Ministry of Economy


Nuclear energy in energy policy - 1

• Activities leading to establishing Nuclear Energy Program Implementing Organisation supervised by Minister of Economy

• Defining necessary changes in Polish law to implement nuclear power program

• Human Resources Development for Nuclear Power Program


„Framework time schedule for nuclear power activities” acknowledged by the Council of Ministers on 11 August 2009

• I until 31.12.2010 preparation and approval by the Council of Ministers of the Polish Nuclear Power Program

• II 2011 – 2013 NPP site selection and conclusion of a contract for construction of the first NPP

• III 2014 – 2015 preparation of technical design and obtaining all required decisions and permits

• IV 2016 – 2020 construction of the first NPP in Poland Tomasz Jackowski, Ministry of Economy

NEPIO

• In February 2009 creation of Nuclear Energy Department having 9 employees

• In 2009 plan to have 20 person• In 2010 plan to reach 44 person and take the

promotion and coordination activities from National Atomic Energy Agency


Law adaptation

• Analyses of existing systems of regulations in EU countries and some OECD countries

• The development of draft regulations till the end of 2009 and government approval planned till June 2010


Human resources development stage 1

• Educating and training HR for technical universities, NEPIO, Nuclear Regulatory and investors

• 6 months in existing NPP and training center• 6 months in corresponding institution abroad

– more than 100 persons


Human resources development - stage 2

• MSc II-nd stage studies or post graduate studies partially abroad - 300 persons

• Graduates from the above mentioned studies – 6 month training in NPP and training center


Human resources development – stage 3

• Reactor Engineering Departments at Technical Universities and other specializations needed for nuclear power implementation

• 6 month training in foreign NPPs and training centers



• Information and education campaign concerning nuclear energy program

• Site selection analyses for first NPPs• Site selection design and construction

of the Low and Intermediate Level Radioctive Waste Repository

• Reinforcement of human resources and competences of Nuclear Regulatory Institution



• Building nuclear R & D infrastructure on the basis of existing research institutions

• Development of Fuel Cycle Solutions ensuring long-term and safe access to nuclear fuel, recycling of spent fuel and reposition of high level radioactive waste for Poland


Public information

• Professional PR Department of NEPIO• Teachers education• Information about nuclear power in education

programmes• Widely available web database concerning

nuclear facilities


Site selection for NPPs

• Lack of site selection criteria in Polish regulations

• Site selection based on geology, tectonics, hydrology, demography, meteorology, grid infrastructure and power demand performed 20 years ago for 8 sites

• Necessary verification of performed analyses• Public consultations





Building Low and Intermediate Radioactivity Waste Disposal

• Site analyses• Project of the LIRW Disposal• Public consultation• Construction of the new disposal• Closure of the Różan disposal


Thank you for your attention!
