Polish President Bronisław Komorowski has signed the amendment to the Nuclear Act, opening the way for the development of a nuclear energy program in Poland.

The new regulations define the safety and control requirements concerning the location, design, start-up, operation and disposal of nuclear facilities.

It is expected that a special fund will be created to which power plant operators will transfer amounts dependent on the volume of energy sold, with the money used to pay for disposal of power plant components, reported daily Gazeta Prawna.
