A team of experts from the National Centre for Nuclear Research, based on the experience of the MARIA research reactor operating in Świerk for 50 years and the Japanese High Temperature Engineering Test Reactor (HTTR), developed a concept for the Polish research and demonstration high-temperature reactor HTGR-POLA (POLish Atomic). The project is currently at a high level of technological readiness, including the basic design with a significant part of the so-called Preliminary Safety Report (PSR) necessary for its licensing and further design work, commencement of construction and commisioning. This reactor will become the basis for commercial reactors to be used in Polish industry.
