WARSAW (Reuters) -Poland and Canada signed an agreement that provides a legal framework for more intensive cooperation on nuclear power, Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk said on Tuesday after meeting his Canadian counterpart Justin Trudeau.
Poland, which is working to reduce its reliance on coal, chose Westinghouse Electric to build its first nuclear plant on the Baltic Sea coast, but financing is still not fully agreed.
It is now preparing to start the process of choosing a partner for a second plant.
“Canada is the main provider of technology for Poland’s first nuclear plant – Westinghouse is owned by Canadian companies,” Tusk said. “Cooperation on small nuclear reactors (SMR) is also very important.”
