Poland’s first nuclear power plant – the first stage of geological surveys in Pomerania has been completed.

At the site designated for the construction of Poland’s first nuclear power plant – in the Lubiatowo‑Kopalino location in Pomerania – the first phase of in‑depth geological surveys has been completed. This is one of the most important stages of preparation for the investment, which aims to launch three AP1000 reactor units.

22 kilometres of drilling, over 200 metres deep

The total length of the boreholes reached approximately 22 kilometres. For the most critical infrastructure elements – including the reactors and auxiliary buildings – the deepest boreholes extended more than 200 metres below ground.

Such extensive fieldwork is intended to provide a detailed understanding of hydrogeological and geotechnical conditions at the planned investment site. The collected data will be crucial for the plant’s design process, enabling engineers to select appropriate structural solutions tailored to local geological characteristics.

Key documents for the investment process

The results of the surveys will also be used to prepare the Site Report and the Preliminary Safety Analysis Report. These documents are essential for submitting the application for a construction permit and form the foundation for subsequent stages of the nuclear project’s development.

The construction of Poland’s first nuclear power plant is a key element of the country’s energy transition. The investment is expected to strengthen energy security and contribute to reducing CO₂ emissions in the power sector.
