In context: how this plant compares

At 3,750 MW, Lubiatowo-Kopalino nuclear power plant is well above the median nuclear plant in Poland (1,200 MW). Technically it is described as pressurized water reactor. Its current lifecycle status is “Pre Construction” — so it is not yet, or no longer, generating at full output. Nuclear plants split uranium to raise steam with no direct CO₂; they run as steady baseload with very high capacity factors and the longest operating lifetimes of any thermal plant.
