PEJ and NNSA strengthen cooperation on security of Poland’s first nuclear power plant project
Polskie Elektrownie Jądrowe (PEJ) hosted a delegation from the U.S. National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) to discuss key security aspects of Poland’s first nuclear power plant project.
In brief
Polskie Elektrownie Jądrowe and the US National Nuclear Security Administration discussed security issues for Poland's first nuclear power plant project at the company's headquarters. The American delegation was led by Matthew Napoli, and the talks covered the status of preparatory work and expert support in training on physical security, cybersecurity and countering insider threats. Marek Woszczyk, President of the Management Board of Polskie Elektrownie Jądrowe, stressed that cooperation with the NNSA genuinely strengthens the company's competences.
The meeting focused on the current status of project development, upcoming challenges, and security requirements related to critical infrastructure. Particular attention was given to physical security, cybersecurity, and protection against insider threats — areas of growing importance for large-scale energy investments located in coastal regions.
NNSA, an agency within the U.S. Department of Energy, is responsible for nuclear security, non-proliferation efforts, and emergency response. The U.S. delegation was led by Matthew Napoli.
During the talks, PEJ presented progress on the project and discussed continued NNSA support, including the deployment of agency experts to deliver specialized training in nuclear security disciplines. NNSA specialists also regularly participate in technical workshops together with the Westinghouse Electric Company – Bechtel Corporation consortium, which is responsible for project implementation.
– Although PEJ has an experienced security and cybersecurity team, the nuclear sector requires exceptionally high standards. Cooperation with NNSA provides significant added value and strengthens our organizational capabilities – said Marek Woszczyk, President of the Management Board of PEJ.
The nuclear power plant project in northern Poland is regarded as a strategic investment for the country’s energy transition and a key component of critical coastal and maritime-related infrastructure.
