Tour Stop at Jezioro Żarnowieckie

Poland is (except for a research reactor[1]) nuclear free at the moment, but the government is discussing a new nuclear power plant, most likely at Jezioro Żarnowieckie[2]. Jezioro Żarnowieckie is a lake in Northern Poland. The surface area of the lake is 1,431 hectare large; it is up to 16 meter deep.[3] It is located in the north of the country near the Baltic Sea, about 50 km northwest of Gdańsk, just to the south of its namesake village Żarnowiec[4]

Already in 1982 a NPP was supposed to be constructed at the Eastern shore of Jezioro Żarnowieckie, but in 1990 the construction work was cancelled as a result of protests connected to the Chernobyl catastrophe. The already ordered supplies were sold to Loviisa in Finland and Paks in Hungary instead.[3]

The Baltic Sea Info Tour will stop from July 21-23 at Jezioro Żarnowieckie. We will provide a public information event, a public street action and a regional network gathering here.
