It was a truly remarkable statement, for its breadth and its accuracy.

Following the announcement Nov. 2 by the Polish Council of Ministers that Westinghouse Electric Company would supply three AP1000® reactors for Poland’s developing nuclear energy program, U.S. Ambassador to Poland Mark Brzezinski said, “This project represents 100 years of new strategic cooperation between the United States and Poland, including the development and construction phase, the operating life of the plants and their future decommissioning.”

A century of cooperation.
