KGHM Polska Miedź SMR programme (withdrawn)

KGHM pursued a small modular reactor programme for its copper operations and in 2023 rejected reports that its NuScale cooperation had ended. In July 2026 KGHM told a parliamentary subcommittee it had withdrawn from its own SMR project, and Poland's 2026 nuclear programme text describes the project as suspended.

Not a deployment project. SMR plans, agreements, studies and government programmes that are not (yet) a single deployment project. They are listed separately and are never counted as projects or reactors.
